Fantasy, Lore, & More: The Secrets We Save

Hi, I'm indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Kel E Fox is joining me to talk about her book, The Secrets We Save. What's it about? In a world where humans live hundreds of years and can perceive deception as easily as breathing, it takes a rare magic called Whispering to tell a lie. Ursa has denied this magic to become a pilot, while Del embraced Whispering and left his family to work as a spy. Now Del is exiled and Ursa sent home from flight school in disgrace, and they find themselves embroiled in a sinister plot that only a lie can undo. The Secrets We Save is a character-driven romantic gaslamp fantasy with elements of mystery and intrigue. Set in a Victorian-inspired city of gardens and mystery created by Kel E Fox, The Secrets We Save blends fantasy with elements of romance and intrigue. What's in this episode: Kel E Fox will take us into a world where lies are magical and deception is nearly impossible with an excerpt from The Secrets We Save, and we'll explore aspects of that world, like its unique magic system, long-lived humans, and the intriguing concept of Whispering. We'll find out what to expect from this romantic gaslamp-inspired fantasy series and maybe get some spoiler-free highlights of what's to come. We'll discuss Ursa and Del's journeys from their divergent paths to their entanglement in a sinister plot, and discover worldbuilding details about the Victorian-inspired setting, the nature of Whispering, and more. Join us in a place where truth is the norm, lies are magical, and secrets can save or destroy.
