An urban fantasy fiction podcast

Trailer: "You know who you are."

In New Candler, Liam Alden, a magic user (or "muse," if you're not pretentious), is given a choice that could change his life. If he takes it, it won't just be himself he's battling. It'll also be the most successful magic-inhibiting tech giant to date.
