Welcome back to season four! A fully audio-landscaped version of the Death's Left Hand novel series by Gwydion Royce. Seasons one and two cover the Iron-Forge Crossroads duet, the third season continues the story with Coiled Phantoms: Exuvia, and now the fourth season brings to life Coiled Phantoms: Kairos. It's a year after the events of Iron-Forge Crossroads revealed the Strangefells to humankind and Evyn & Co. must navigate this new world as everyone comes to terms with the new reality. Things aren't looking great, her friends are lost or scattered, and tensions are ready to boil over with the mortals...
Each episode is richly landscaped with music and effects so you can immerse yourself fully in the experience. Headphones are recommended and the story should be listened to in order all the way from season one, episode one. One chapter released per week!
More about Coiled Phantoms: Kairos -
kairos (noun): the right or critical moment; a propitious moment for decision or action
I should have given them what they wanted. Instead they broke my life apart, stripping away the only good I had left in it. My team, Tristan, now Adrian? And no matter how hard I look, there’s little hope to finding my familiar. Now that war is on the horizon, hope in general is almost impossible to grasp.
And the darkness only grows.
The Council has let all my preparations for a moment just like this one fall to the wayside, in their overconfidence or - more likely - their arrogance. Our forces are limited and there are rumors of the humans having superior weapons that could cause real damage to us.
And worst of all, to me anyway, the things I’m learning about Tristan tell me I never really knew the man I fell in love with.
I’ve never felt more alone and I know the cost will be heavy if I give them what they’re after. But maybe those monsters will take this burden from me and leave like they promised. Maybe it won’t be so bad.
Maybe...it’s for the best.

Coiled Phantoms: Exuvia
exuvia (noun): cast-off covering or exoskeleton, as the skins of snakes
The Strangefells is no longer a dirty little secret hiding in the nightmares and fairytales of humankind.
To say tensions have been rising is an understatement.
Sure, an entire city was almost leveled when a sociopath with a supervillain complex released the Ancients. And sure, it wasn’t a great first introduction. But now the world is on the brink of war as humans try to come to terms with their friends and neighbors being Stranger than they thought.
Behind it all, something else is stirring, creatures that are twisting minds and possessing unsuspecting people at will, all while entire towns are disappearing overnight. They hide in plain sight, an unknown entity with many faces. And this new threat has taken an interest in me personally, coming after the people I love.
The Ancients weren’t the only thing that woke up and got a taste of freedom when the Briste made their bid for ultimate power. They say I have something they want. That when I survived Griselda and her sorcerers, I didn’t come back unchanged.
And they’re right.
