The Whitmore gala should have been Elise's triumph. For two perfect hours, it is—until her mother appears, and thirty years of suppressed rage finally ignites. The estate transforms into wilderness. Trees erupt through marble. Flowers cover everything. Three hundred guests flee in terror, and Elise's career burns to ash along with her careful reputation.Roman tells her about the fire that killed him—and the years he spent believing he was only capable of destruction. He asks her to see the devastation as a controlled burn, clearing space for new growth. But Elise can't hear him. Not yet. A week later, she's shut everything down. The magic, the feelings, the wildness. Her apartment is dead, and so is she. She got exactly what she wanted. She's never been more miserable.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

The Pensive Tower Scroll & Dagger The Pensive Tower is a weekly high fantasy podcast, following the collected stories of the people who live in the Five Seas Federation and beyond. Join the newly appointed Inscriber, Paxton Ferox, as he works his way through the memories that have been donated to the Tower over the years following the mysterious Dark Age, converting them to the audio format of the newly invented mnimigraph, and supplementing them with any follow up that might have been reported in the intervening years.Some of the memories are of danger, some of romance or life changing encounters or even rediscovering that which was thought forgotten. And together they begin to form an outline of a greater story being told, if only someone can read it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
