Magic is real. And it’s dangerous. It’s locked in books and relics imbued with power. But sometimes, whether by accident or by design, magic escapes and wreaks havoc upon the world.

Realm presents Bookburners, a supernatural fantasy podcast created and executive produced by Hugo-, Nebula-, and Locus Award winning author Max Gladstone (Empress of Forever, The Craft Sequence series, This is How You Lose the Time War). Premieres February 14th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
