FEED DROP - The Rave - Chapter 1

We hope you're enjoying the summer, and thank you for your continued support of The Other Stories.


We wanted to bring you something special today that we think many of you will enjoy. The Hawk & Cleaver team have been working on recording and editing the first book in The Aelfraver Series, The Rave. We even have TOS narrator Erika Ventura cast as the narrator.


Author J.R Traas describes it as an arcanepunk cyberfantasy about teenage rebellion against the ruling elite and their gods. TOS editor Karl Hughes said it reminded him of The Hunger Games, but full of even more Sci-Fi and even more awesomeness.


The story begins with Alina, a 17-year-old Aelfraver (a hunter of arcane beasts), who is also a pacifist. When her grandfather disappears in the middle of making dinner, Alina is left with an empty monster hunter school and a crippling pile of debt. Unlicensed and underage, she forges an Aelfraver license and enters the floating capital city, joining the hunt for a mysterious entity that has been slaughtering the wealthy and powerful, leaving no witnesses. If she can somehow deal with this elusive creature and claim the bounty, she believes all her problems will be solved. But she’ll have to beat 200 cutthroat killer Aelfravers to the finish line.


We don't do many audiobooks, but even so, this is the biggest project we've ever taken on, and we wanted to share it with you.
