This is Julian Hermano, co-creator of previous audio verse award winning series The Realm Tree: A story of how fairies get their wings.

Last year, our series was among the winners in the categories of “Best New Story-based Production”, and “Best Storyteller” for our primary narrator, Madi Tozier. The second half of our series, episodes 17-30, were released during the eligibility period for this year’s awards.

Our audio series features actors from Avatar the Last Airbender, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Genshin Impact, and more. Our now completed 30 episode first season is available on podcasting platforms, start to finish.

The tale takes place in Al’Idria, a fairy world consisting of six Realms surrounding the Realm Tree; a tree that stretches up to the sky. At the age of sixteen, fairies ascend through the trunk to earn their wings. Those who fail to reach the canopy remain wingless for life. For some, the stakes could not be higher.

Our story follows the scrappy and determined Night Fairy Talia Wick, the only fairy in history that was born without magic in her body. By the second half of our series, Talia has become friends with an ancient beast spirit, and is learning to use her borrowed dark magic to lead her friends in reaching the top of the Realm Tree to finally earn their wings. It has been a rigorous struggle of near death experiences, and fairies hunting their own. And there is still so much more to learn about the secrets of the Fairy world…

This is Episode 20: Daybreak.

After a close encounter with a violent beast spirit and the mysterious fairies nicknamed “The Jewel Hunters”, Talia and her friends have less than a day left to reach the Tree’s apex. They’ll meet a new friend, and face one more obstacle which will change the tone of this fantasy adventure for good.

Our audio show uses both dialogue and narration to bring this tale to life, including narrated and intense combat scenes with sound effects and original music. We believe this is a good episode to showcase how far our series has come since we submitted Episode 2 last year.

We hope you enjoy. And as always, thank you for listening.
