    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    From Digital Fable Forge comes a cinematic audio-drama of H. P. Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu. Music and immersive sound design pair with a cast of digital voice actors to trace a mystery from dusty notes to a storm-lashed sea. Lightly modernized and adapted for audio, this is the old terror reborn—best experienced with headphones. 
    New to the tale? A researcher inherits a dead professor’s papers and uncovers a pattern: fevered dreams that spread like a sickness, a hidden cult whispering one name, and a sailor’s log from an impossible city risen from the deep. Piece by piece, the fragments point to a sleeping, ancient power—Cthulhu—and to the awful truth that some things remember us.

    A grumpy lion shifter duke with secrets, a sassy human who knows nothing of the shifter world, and a fiery arrangement neither of them expected. 
    Cormac Donegan, Duke of Everard, is all too familiar with the perils of his shifter world, especially as a Dahlia, one of the dragon king’s elite spies. After a mission nearly costs him his life, Cormac is sidelined, healing and grieving his heavy losses. Then a different kind of trouble shows up on his doorstep: a human claiming to be his fiancé. 
    When Jason Reaves is nearly killed in a house fire, it becomes clear that someone is trying to murder him. With his already fragile health deteriorating, Jason’s only hope is to call in the debt a stranger owes his father—a favor that promises safety, protection...and marriage. 
    Jason’s escape leads him and his service dog, Mouse, to an impressive country estate. He’s expecting the older man who’d made the promise, not his ruggedly handsome son—who happens to be a Duke, as in rich and royal. 
    Will this Cinderfella find his happily ever after in the arms of a dashing—if somewhat irritable—duke? Or will Cormac’s secrets prove to be more dangerous than the shifters hunting him?

    For Edra, the strengthened bond between them is exhilarating and terrifying, and everything he believed he’d never have again. But Jordan is struggling with defining what is him and what is Edra when he barely knows himself.  
    When griffins descend on the city, killing several people, and then claim sanctuary from hunters, it’s up to Jordan and the rest of Mytho Investigations to uncover the truth before humans start calling for the griffins’ death.  
    With the entire country waiting for the outcome of the vote that will determine the standing of mythological people—and define who is a person—everyone is on edge. If it doesn’t pass, Jordan worries what it will mean for him and Edra.  
    As Edra and the other mytho rulers of the city contemplate their roles and the future, one thing is clear: no matter the outcome of the vote, things can’t remain as they are.
