    These chapters are the ones in which the Crocodile confesses to Tarisai about stealing her voice, and she does a BOY BYE and ditches him to go stay with Ye Eun and Dele in the partially repaired flower shop.

    These chapters of The Maid And The Crocodile are the ones in which Sade begins to grow from small to...well, not large, but at least more average-sized. She is still not really suspecting the thing that RoShawn and I think happened with her voice, but she does manage to make a point that the Crocodile seems to actually hear. For once.
    Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

    This beautiful artwork of Tarisai making a deal with the Underworld is by Oksana Bulkevych and you can see their website here! https://www.behance.net/bulkevo38b4
    These chapters of The Maid And The Crocodile are the ones where Small Sade has to flee Bekhina House when the "sin salon" idea goes horribly awry. RoShawn and I are very suspicious of whether the Crocodile was involved with Sade losing her voice, but that doesn't seem to have occurred to Sade!

    These chapters are the ones in which Small Sade finds out that we are indeed dealing with The Crocodile, and she understandably freaks out a bit. Also, she is made to do the sin-eating of a new client, and it's absolutely horrific. She's expected to do this 20 more times.
    Thanks, we hate it! This illustration is actually for the Ukranian version of Raybearer, but since there isn't much art out there for The Maid And The Crocodile yet I hope you will forgive me. It's by Oksana Bulkevych and dyou can take a look at their website here! https://www.behance.net/bulkevo38b4

    These chapters are the ones in which Small Sade gets caught in her mistress's room without permission, and in order to keep from getting fired she does something really desperate...and really REALLY gross.

    This lovely illustration of Sade and The Crocodile is by @kaitlyn.illustration and you can see it here! https://www.instagram.com/p/C9aFTj9gDrx/?hl=en&img_index=1
    These chapters are the ones in which Sade is hired at Mamadele's inn, but Mamadele is only willing to hire Sade if she can accomplish a few minor miracles. In the meantime, Sade gets to know Dele and the Amenities, and finds that actually, she quite likes it here.
    Thank you so much for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!

    It's time to reenter the world of Raybearer with Jordan Ifueko's latest novel, The Maid And The Crocodile! We're not in Tarisai's POV anymore though, we're seeing this world through brand new eyes, and Sade is coming from a very different social status and life experience to the one Tarisai has. But there is at least one familiar face (and posisbly a second one, though that remains to be seen) and the Anointed are still out there kicking around, so there's a chance we may see more.
    Thanks so much to you all for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!
