Crownless

By: M. H. Woodscourt

Narrated by: Hannah Sharafian

A fugitive storyteller running out of time. A prince hiding from his mother. A kingdom on the brink of collapse. A search for a world of magic.

Convinced his tales are true, storyteller Jinji is determined to find the legendary fae realm of Shinac to save his world from a dread lord trying to cross over - before a fatal illness ends Jinji’s life.

Prince Jetekesh is caught between a controlling mother and his affection for his dying father - until he’s kidnapped and forced to journey with a delusional storyteller and a motley band of fugitives in search of a myth.

Hunted by the queen, hindered by a malady, and invaded by an enemy empire, Jinji and Jetekesh race across a crumbling kingdom to find the alleged gate between worlds.

But even if Shinac exists, how can a humble storyteller and deposed prince hope to stand against a devastating evil?

Beautiful, thoughtful, heart-wrenching story!

A story of goodness and kindness. Of grief and life lessons. Of cruel actions and the consequences that come from our choices.

A tale about a storyteller who can see beyond mortal man and believes in a world of magic, told from the perspective of a spoiled prince, a wise child and the many warriors who follow them.

Intriguing and sad, beautiful and hopeful. This did not disappoint.
