Summary

Dear Listeners, we are extremely pleased to present to you the first episode of Book 2, MYTH MADE FLESH.

After the disturbing events that concluded our previous book, Regan finds herself in a literal tight spot and in possession of very sensitive information. Jen must decide between keeping Regan’s confidence, and looking out for the best interests of the Party. And Arlene and Gwen’s own troubling discovery threatens to disturb their newfound peace. All the while, Regan’s prospects for escape from her predicament dwindle by the minute…

Part 2 of this chapter will be available on March 26. We hope you’ll join us then.
