THE EMPEROR'S SOUL

Narrator Colleen Delaney, supported by a full cast of talented voices, provides an evocative delivery of one of Sanderson's most delightful novellas. In a world in which everything can be magically re-created, or forged, Shai, a master forger, is coerced into composing an intricate soul stamp that will restore a comatose emperor to his former glory. The story dives into the complexities of the magic and explores the motives of some very interesting characters. Described as being "like a movie in your mind," this production enhances the story with sound effects that emphasize movement, giving the whole experience a surround-sound feel. The prominent voice actors bring the main characters alive with energy that is so much more engaging than a lesser audio narration. It's a real performance!
