Hero of the Wyverns by Alice Ivinya

Karyne (00:00:07) - Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author.

Today's story is full of dragon riders, arranged marriages, and feisty protagonists. Hero of the Wyverns is written by USA Today bestselling author Alice Ivinya, who hopes to change the world for better one word at a time. When she's not off gallivanting in other worlds, she loves walking the dog and spending time with her church family. She lives in Bristol, England, which means she's going to be gravely disappointed in my decidedly unsophisticated pronunciation of all her beautiful words.

Stick around to the end or check out today's show notes to see where you can find more from Alice, as well as how to enter our giveaway. For now, please enjoy Hero of the Wyverns by Alice Ivinya.

I have been so grateful to hear from all of you, whether by email or in reviews. I was excited about this podcast, but I never dreamed that so many other people would get excited about it too. I especially want to thank Hank Mom for their kind review. They said, "love the narration and concept. I've really enjoyed this podcast and keep coming back for more. I love audiobooks and Karyne is a great narrator. I love that she's not only introducing us to new authors, but that she's bringing their short stories alive with narration. I so appreciate her commitment to clean reads. I have a child with special needs and prefer to listen to PG stories when we're in the car." Hearing things like that makes my day and it makes me eager to keep putting out more episodes for all of you. So please keep the reviews coming.

If you missed any of the links for Alice's books or the giveaway, those will be in the show notes. Thank you all for listening and happy reading.
