News from the Breach - A Dragon Prince Podcast

In our 30th episode of News from the Breach we discuss chapters 7 & 8 of Book Stars: “The Red Wedding” and “We All Fall Down”. An interrupted wedding 💍, a fire flavoured dessert 🧁, and a flameless desert 🏜️. An unexpected twist that leaves a city in ruins. And an unexpected sacrifice, and a fitting end for one of our most complex characters. Join us, friends, for a very emotional 😭 and exciting episode 👏. We’ve got lots to talk about, and another [https://newsfromthebreach.com/news/s05e05_the-dark-eyed-sailor/] bonus cover song for you from our friend Jan [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr0CrUopu-U].
