Hey everyone!! So sorry that it has taken so long for this week's episode to come out, I've hit a snag with my normal editing tool for audio and had to switch. Since it took so long I've decided to drop just a little update episode for this week.

I talk about a few things here and give a slightly more detailed update on how the book is doing. I'm completely unscripted in this one as a warning.

Let me know more about your experience with Tales of Agmar on the Discord:

In this episode of Tales of Agmar, we continue the Origin Stories series with Gander, a young prodigy growing up inside the rigid order of the Ellonist Republic.

This week we are back with Kandra's complete origin story. If you missed any of the past few episodes don't worry. Right here I've complied all of them together and done some additional editing to smooth things over.

Who is Kandra?

Kandra is one of three main characters in my upcoming book Tales of Agmar: Gambit (working title still). She is the princess of the Middle Kingdom and as such shoulders a lot of weight and responsibility. During this cast you will hear part of her origin story. Basically, what happens to her before the...

The cycle was never an accident.

In the final chapter of Kandra’s origin trilogy, the truth behind the Queen’s magic is revealed. Trapped in a repeating day and forced to forget her own memories hundreds of times over, Princess Kandra finally breaks free—running from the castle, into the void, and toward the one person she trusts most.

But her father’s death was never what it seemed.

As secrets of forbidden magic, hidden symbols, and the mysterious Triangle People come to light, Kandra learns the real reason she has been reliving...

Kandra is finally found—but safety comes at a cost.

As the castle closes in around her, the queen’s concern turns cold, and Kandra begins to notice things she was never meant to see: marked guards, sudden promotions, and a symbol that appears far too often to be coincidence.

In Part 2 of Kandra’s three-part arc, trust fractures, memories blur, and the truth about her mother becomes harder to ignore.

This is Part 2 of 3 in Kandra’s story. To hear how it ends, follow Tales of Agmar on Spotify and turn on notifica...

When twelve-year-old Kandra waits at the castle gates for her father’s return from war, she believes—like she always has—that the king will come home.

He does not.

This episode marks the beginning of a new Tales of Agmar prequel series, exploring the origins of key characters before the events of the main story. Through grief, denial, and whispered rumors within the castle walls, Kandra’s world begins to fracture—revealing truths that will shape the future of the Middle Kingdom.
