In the tropical-island region known as the Frees, magic is growing stronger, and gunpowder is becoming less reliable. Amid this world of “swashbuckling, intrigue, and a dash of magic,” two adventurers literally run into each other and are forced to fight together against pirates, sinister assassins and powerful merchant families, in the process developing a most unlikely friendship. Tesca is the Left Hand, a spy and assassin serving the Duke of Kohaya, ruler of one of the independent realms within the Frees. Kayrla is a sailor and sometime pirate with a few magical tricks up her sleeve. While fleeing the wrath of her former captain, Kayrla collides with Tesca, who’s on a mission of his own, and her captain, assuming them to be partners, sics his crew on both of them. Cutting their way free of the pirates’ wrath, the pair come to realize that they make a very effective team, but will their combined talents be enough to stop an assassin seeking the Duke’s life, and who appears to be more than a match for either Tesca’s blades or Kayrla’s magic?
Life Of A Doctor
- Publisher: Dr Lucinda
- Total Episodes: 3
Hello and Welcome Everyone! I’m so excited to share this podcast with you 🙂 My name is Dr Lucinda, I’m a General Practitioner from the UK, currently working in Sydney, Australia. Ever since applying to work abroad I’ve been thinking about hosting a podcast to collate the stories of doctors around the world and share journeys and experiences. This podcast will cover topics from premed through to specialization, and topics that affect doctors inside and outside the workplace. Medical careers can be far more diverse than one thinks and there are some pretty inspirational doctors out there that have broken the mold and help path the way for other doctors to think about doing the same. There are also a lot of topics that affect medics inside and outside the workplace that are left largely unspoken and this platform is aimed to help us connect and share those thoughts and experiences together.
