Fantasy, Lore, & More: Rada

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode Tracy Joyce is joining me to talk about her book, Rada.

What’s it about?

• Welcome to the Zaragarian Empire.

• Rada's newborn sister is disfigured and her father has decreed that her fate lies at the Seat of the Gods. Rada knows what that means - he wants her sister dead.

• To save both her sister and her mother, Rada must find the Emperor and beseech him for help. Rada is six. The Emperor terrifies her, but there is no one else.

• In a world of intricate politics, rivalries, dissent and revolt; where old gods lay in wait, the fate of two little girls will change the course of an empire.

• Everything depends on a six-year-old with a slingshot

• Rada is set approx 16 years before "Altaica" and forms part of a companion series.

What’s in this episode:

• Tracy will take us into the dark fantasy world of the Zaragarian Empire with an excerpt from Rada, and we’ll explore aspects of that world like the intricate politics and the Seat of the Gods.

• We’ll find out what to expect from the Altaica series and maybe get some spoiler-free highlights of what’s to come.

• We’ll discuss Rada's journey from newborn sister to potential savior at only six years old and discover details about the rivalries, dissent, and old gods that await.

• Join us in a world where the fate of an empire rests on the shoulders of a child with a slingshot.
