Stellar Shock, Book 1: Embers of Rebellion. Verticle Media proudly presents “Stellar Shock”, an immersive audiobook podcast experience, from the visionary storytellers at Verticle Media. In the magical realm of Naverra, power rests in the hands of immortal rulers known as Keepers. Peace balances delicately on the threads of their control—until one Keeper sets the world ablaze. Tandros Sugarra, Keeper of the Flame, unleashes chaos by abducting Aerinne, the Princess of the Wind, igniting war across the lands. Far from the throne rooms and battlefields, Ser Sarrafin, a young farm boy tormented by his inability to wield magic, finds himself thrust into the heart of rebellion. With an ancient, mysterious sword in hand, Ser embarks on a journey fraught with peril and discovery, joined by allies both enigmatic and fierce. Together, they uncover dark secrets, confront betrayal, and kindle the flames of revolution. A world divided, a rebellion rising, and heroes born from the embers of war.

This week on Shockwaves, Jess and Arthur return to the village of Tuitoma to unpack the quiet devastation and simmering tension of Chapter Four. As Ser Sarrafin ventures into Afirit to trade for rope, what should be a routine errand reveals the social rot under the surface—strikes, resentments, and unspoken hierarchies tightening like the heat around Ser’s throat.
Arthur dives into the tonal shift: the jungle air is stifling, ye...
In this chapter, the village of Tuitoma bursts to life on the night of the festival, where torchlight and music offer temporary escape from the drudgery of rural life. Ser Sarrafin, young and heavy with unspoken grief, navigates the chaotic warmth of community: firelight, song, children’s laughter, and the sharp camaraderie of friends. He is swept into the celebration reluctantly, until an impromptu performance thrusts him into the...

Welcome to Shockwaves, the official aftershow breakdown for Stellar Shock! Hosts Jess and Arthur dig deep—literally and thematically—into Chapter 1: Demesne, where the world of Afirit comes to life through sweat, soil, and splinters.
They unpack Ser Sarrafin’s quiet strength, the relentless routine of Tuitoma’s survival, and how magick—or the lack of it—shapes power and purpose. From the rough loyalty of Ser’s chaotic friends to...
In the heart of the jungle-bound village of Tuitoma, young Ser Sarrafin shoulders the toil of survival one ker-chunk of his hoe at a time. In Chapter 1: Demesne, we meet Ser—a quiet, steadfast farmer nicknamed “Tomasi” for his ability to fade into the background—who has built a life out of hard earth, blistered hands, and unshakable perseverance. As Tuitoma grows from tents to adobe, Ser’s work feeds the village, even as his own ma...
In our premiere episode of Shockwaves, Jess sits down with Arthur—the mind behind Stellar Shock—to tear into the prologue and first episode, “Argument.” No soft takes, no safe ground. Just raw conversation about a world where magic cuts, monsters bleed, and survival is earned one bruise at a time.
They talk scorched earth and floating cities, dissect the brutal raid on Cornelia, and get into the heads of unlikely intruders Kani and ...
The skies over Cornelia churn with wind and war in this electrifying prologue episode. High above the ocean’s fog, floating islands cradle an empire bound by ancient canta and proud defiance of gravity. But pride burns fast.

In this haunting episode, we walk through a landscape long since ravaged—by fire, by time, by things better left unnamed. Charred trees lean like forgotten sentinels, their roots tangled in ash and bone. The wind whispers through what remains, stirring fragments of the past: broken branches, claw marks, and the quiet evidence of lives ended without ceremony.
As day fades and shadow stretches, we follow travelers who cross this scarr...
