About this listen
A deadly power upends everything a Blade knows. The Queen’s Blade saga continues.
Zaren, steadily forging alliances in the bustling Busal City, finds solace in his growing network, a stark contrast to the oversight of his mentor. This newfound stability, however, is short-lived.
The unearthing of a mysterious and arcane ritual on the city's fringes catapults Zaren into action, exposing gaps in his preparedness.
A series of sinister events, marked by an escalating number of casualties, propels Zaren into a quest for clarity. In his search, he leans on his allies for insights, but unexpectedly, it's his enemies who shed light on the true magnitude of what's at stake. The conspiracy he’s long feared stretches deeper than he has known.
And the Queen’s Blade may be all that stands before a deadly power that threatens to consume the city.

Story
A soldier with a past meets a future he cannot ignore. The Queen’s Blade saga begins. Zaren Joha, once a formidable soldier, now spends his days maintaining peace in a quiet tavern in Lavrun. No more military rigors. No more blind obedience. The job is uneventful, yet it allows him a semblance of normalcy. But his tranquil life in Lavrun is about to change. An encounter with the mysterious Waleith, a man with deep connections to the queen, draws him into a world where his brawn is not enough. The tavern's usual hustle, the sailors' brawls, and the regulars are soon overshadowed by a ...

Story
In the city of Verdholm, canals separate the highborns in the center sections of the city from the lowborns along the outer sections. The city is isolated, surrounded by a deadly swamp and steam fields which should protect the people of the city from the dangerous outside world. Until it doesn't. For Sam, an orphaned thief who wants only to protect her brother, protection means stealing enough so she can one day buy her way into a better section. She's a skilled thief, and when she's offered a job that can change everything for her, what choice does she have but to take it?
