About this listen

In our final episode of Season 1, we're talking about In the Veins of the Drowning by Kalie Cassidy — a siren song of gods, transformation, and saltwater magic that left us enchanted… and a little lost.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The recency of the gods and how faith shapes this world
  • Magic systems that are intriguing but lack clarity
  • The sensory pull of the sea
  • Blood bonds and shifting loyalties
  • And why we left with more questions than answers — and what that says about the world itself

If you love mythic fantasy, oceanic worlds, and stories that haunt more than they explain, this one’s for you.

Worlds Within — for readers who don’t just love books… they live in them.
