Sometimes, to move forward, you have to go back.

Lost. Powerless. Pursued. Liam Alden is, for the first time in his life, "normal". And that’s a problem, because he and the rest of the TEAm are stranded far away from home with law enforcement, Morgan Reilley, and the entire Salvai crime family hot on their trail. They’ll need every connection they’ve ever forged, and a major shift in approach, if they’re going to save both themselves and muses everywhere.

Come back home to New Candler one last time on October 14th, 2022 for the Season 3 premiere of VALENCE wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to seasons 1 and 2 of VALENCE now wherever you get your podcasts, and find out more at VALENCEpod.com.

Trailer: Coming Soon

Fri, 13 Dec 2019 19:40:00 -0500

Welcome to New Candler, cultural epicenter of the United States. Visit Trudon Circle, an art mecca turned tourist trap where you can find musicals, massive neon billboards, street performers, and pickpockets. The bodega on 12th and Salt will sell you spells on the cheap if you know how to ask, but everyone knows they’re better quality on Root and Amsterdam. But if you’re a magic user — or, as pretty much everyone nowadays says, a muse — you’d better be wearing a Halo so your magic doesn’t make a ruckus or hurt anyone. In the city of New Candler, magic is scarce by design. A tech mogul wants to keep it that way. And a magic user wants freedom.
