As I work on season two of The History Singer, I’m also creating some tools to help listeners get their bearings before they begin with episode 101. I started by creating a map of the world where the story unfolds. It's right here.

This bonus material introduces you to the story and the setting. The second will introduce you to the cast of characters.

If you have questions or suggestions for more bonus material, please get in touch at jannicholscreative.com/contact, on Twitter at historysingpod, or on FaceBook at thehistorysingerpodcast.

Eliphus acknowledges that soon he will have to tell Arianthe the truth about the Decomps, just not today.

Toby gives Arianthe a gift and makes a confession.

Arianthe turns out to be an unexpected weapon of war.

This is a sneak preview of episode 108 which is also the season finale for season one. There will be a season two. More secrets, lies, intrigue and action as characters and situations evolve. Details on season two will follow soon.

Lord Vrenik discusses his secret project in the ice forest with his co-conspirator, Ashta of the Davroni. Angry with Bacanyi, Toby works up a sweat knifing every tree on his way to the river. He transforms once again. It gets bloody. Arianthe shows Vrenik’s letter to Eliphus who decides that it is time for the troupe to resume touring.

What on Nerth is happening to Toby Grace? He's a boy, fish, man thing. And now, he's a predator.

Ser Soren Vrenik, Lord of Vrenholm, has a dangerous encounter with Cusith, a Trinity warrior named for a green hound believed to be a harbinger of death. Bacanyi returns from a scouting expedition bearing an envelope stamped with the seal of Lord Vrenik. It is an invitation requesting that Arianthe make her debut as a history singer at his court. The question is why and why now? Arianthe asks Bacanyi about his ability to be in one place then suddenly appear in another. She shocks him, wondering if the way he defies time is like the feeling of everywhere-ness she has when singing.

Arianthe overhears Bacanyi accusing Eliphus of lying about the nature of her voice. Angered, Eliphus uses "the voice" to stun Bacanyi and storms away. For the second time in their brief acquaintance, Bacanyi carries Arianthe to her wagon and deposits her in bed. Needing time to sort through his troubling emotions, Bacanyi leaves on a scouting expedition.
