Fiction:Science Fiction
Few in the Empire of Oun know of the salaatu, mysterious sea-dwelling folk from somewhere beyond the Empire's eastern northeastern shores, and fewer still know of their magic. But when the dying Emperor learns that the salaatu may have cured a member of his own court, an obscure underlibrarian, of her terrible injuries years ago, he orders her to take him to them, no matter the cost.
Narrated by host Matt Gomez.
