Epic: Gods & Lies

EPIC is your new HQ for Realm’s exhilarating action and adventure stories, with new episodes dropping every Monday introduced by host Faith McQuinn. Embark on your greatest adventures yet, whether it’s crash landing on a desolate planet with only a cerebrally-embedded AI to guide you, or realizing that your latest game design is the only thing staving off total global annihilation. So unsheath those earbuds, clench that steering wheel, and buckle up because EPIC is about to take off. This month, we are featuring Gods & Lies, where a priestess of justice investigates a grisly murder that may incriminate a God. Gods make everything complicated. No one knows that better than Iris Tharro, a human agent of the Goddess of Justice. Iris’ mandate is clear: investigate crimes and mete out justice. But when a woman's body is found at the altar of a temple, Iris quickly realizes her task might not be that simple. Because while murder is usually a human crime, this one is rife with magic only a God would be capable of. To accuse a God of murdering a human acolyte could put her life at risk. That’s why she needs a partner who knows the good, the bad, and the ugly consequences of dealing with the Gods. Enter Andy: a handsome demigod with a silver tongue. It’s a challenging partnership, but there’s no one better to guide iris through black markets teeming with illegal relics, nightclubs full of nymphs, and the nefarious politics of the Pantheon. In a world where ancient grudges and human desires live side by side, Iris and Andy are confronted with an impossible choice: whether solving one human’s murder is worth the wrath of all the Gods. Gods & Lies is a Realm production, created and written by Elizabeth Vail. Listen Away.
