    JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING & MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery In tonight's story, you are the long lost heir to the throne of the powerful kingdom of Brenindor. After years of not knowing your true identity, you have come into your own, reconnected with your bonded dragon, and set about claiming your inheritance. But without support or connections to the capitol, you find yourself unable to accomplish much. This, however, is all about to change with the arrival of an unexpected ally – who is also your greatest rival for the throne. This tale is part of an ongoing medieval fantasy narrative set in the same realm across time and space. You don't need to have heard all the other stories to understand this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and story threads. If you'd like to catch up, I recommend starting with The Dragon Rider or Tales by the Tavern Fire. I hope you enjoy.

    Channel your magic into a mysterious amulet in tonight's medieval fantasy bedtime story. In tonight's story, you are the village healer, a practitioner of natural magic and keeper of a renowned herb garden. Things are changing in the realm, and you are in need of a way to preserve your magical knowledge, so you have recently taken on an apprentice. Together, you work to develop a powerful gem, a container for all the wisdom of your ancestors and plant guides. But through your efforts, you come to realize that wisdom cannot be fixed or contained – it must spread, travel, and age. This story lives in the same world as the dragon rider, the tavern tales, and the heir apparent from other installments of Sleep & Sorcery – but it takes place several generations in that continuing story's past. You don't need to have heard the other installments to enjoy this story, but you may recognize some of the threads woven throughout. If you're still awake as the story concludes, I'll guide you through a relaxing meditation for sleep and self-care. This is the finale of season 4 of Sleep & Sorcery – thank you so much for dreaming with me over the past year. I'll be taking a short break to work on season 5, but stay tuned for remixes, bonus recordings for supporters, and more during the off-time. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME THROUGH 100 ORIGINAL STORIES!

    Lose yourself in the folklore of the land in tonight's bedtime story. In tonight's story, after inheriting a historic estate from an eccentric uncle, you host your first gathering at the country house for Winter Solstice. You celebrate with your new friends and community members, some of whom stay to help you tidy up at the end of the evening. Once the house is back to rights, you wind down by the fire; naturally, someone starts telling stories. As tall, but true tales unfold, you begin to recognize patterns in the sometimes magical or supernatural occurrences in the region – with your historic mansion at the heart. If you enjoy this story and want to hear more of the magical goings-on at Covenshire House, I have several other sleep stories that revolve around this location and its characters.

    Redeem the memory of Medusa in tonight's sleep story, inspired by Greek mythology. In tonight's story, you are an immortal Olympian – a member of the Greek Pantheon. You visit a deserted island where the memories of an ancient past are forever bound in stone. Here, you intend to right the wrongs of your past, makes amends, and to redeem the story of a figure forever remembered as monstrous: Medusa. This story is a retelling of the classical myths surrounding Medusa and the Gorgons. I've taken a number of liberties with the sources to offer an adaptation that fits the tone of Sleep & Sorcery, but some of the themes of this tale may skew a bit mature for younger listeners.

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I'll be your guide on tonight's fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Listen to my voice for as long as you like, and when you're ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep. If you're still awake as the story comes to an end, I'll guide you through a relaxing visualization exercise. -
