Mische and Asar descend into the perilous underworld, navigating the Sanctums of Body and Breath, where they face trials that test their courage and confront their darkest fears. As Mische wrestles with her vampire nature and fading faith in Atroxus, her bond with Asar deepens into a forbidden romance. Their journey crescendos in a harrowing ritual: Asar sacrifices himself to become the Soul needed to complete their mission. But when Mische awakens on a white beach, reality twists with a terrifying encounter that mimics her past. Heartbroken yet determined, Mische fights to save Asar and continue their journey home, proving that courage, love, and sacrifice are never simple in the realm of the dead.

Episode 15: Never Keep by the Twisted Sisters

Outcast and scarred, Everest Arcadia struggles to survive in the water-ruled land of Cascada, haunted by her mother’s death and betrayed by her family, while training at the legendary warrior fortress, Never Keep, and discovering her rare white Leopard Order. At the same time, Vesper, the feared Sky Witch of the air kingdom, navigates brutal raids, blood magic, and devastating betrayal, forcing her to question loyalty, love, and ambition. As the elemental nations clash, forbidden secrets beneath Never Keep are revealed, soul-ties bind, and ancient powers awaken, pushing both women into a deadly crucible where vengeance, trust, and survival collide—and the fate of the war may rest in their hands.

Episode 14: The Songbird & The Heart of Stone- Parts 1 & 2

In Songbird Parts 1 and 2, we follow Mische, a fallen priestess of the sun god Atroxus, now a vampire caught between faith and survival. Betrayed, stripped of her fire magic, and imprisoned for killing the Shadowborn Prince who turned her, Mische is bound to Asar, a haunted necromancer prince. Together, they descend into the perilous underworld, facing wraiths, beasts, and crumbling wards, while secretly tasked by Atroxus to recover relics that could resurrect the forgotten god Alarus—only to kill him afterward. Every step forces Mische to confront her fractured loyalties, her dangerous Shadowborn powers, and a forbidden bond with Asar, setting the stage for betrayal, sacrifice, and a war between gods and mortals.

Episode 13: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a dark, gothic tale that spans centuries, following women whose lives are shaped by hunger, desire, and the monstrous cost of immortality. María, Charlotte, and Alice are drawn into the orbit of Sabine, a vampire whose love offers freedom and power but comes with brutal consequences. As they are remade and transformed, they navigate cycles of violence, grief, and unbreakable promises, learning that immortality erodes the soul even as it grants strength. Lush, haunting, and morally complex, the novel explores how survival comes at the cost of humanity, and how even in loss and darkness, there is the possibility to forge a new story.

✨ This week on A Pod of Wings and Filth, we wrap up The Ashes & The Star-Cursed King! Part Six: Full Moon gives us family drama, god-blood maps, and Oraya choosing love over power, while Part Seven: Dawn crowns her and Raihn as soul-bonded, double-heir-marked chaos royals. With Nyaxia’s grumpy blessing, Mische striking out on her own, and our feral duo ending their journey not on a throne but in the human districts, it’s the bloody, brilliant HEA we’ve been waiting for.

Episode 10: The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King, Parts 3-5
In this episode of A Pod of Wings and Filth, we dive into Parts Three, Four, and Five of The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King by Carissa Broadbent.
We follow Oraya and Raihn into the heart of Vincent’s haunted past, where vampire children serve, secrets are revealed, and Oraya’s cousin turns out to be a nightmare in a decaying castle. Then it’s off to Sivrinaj for nobles, manipulation, and a doomed wedding. We hit emotional gut punches, endure sewer siestas, and experience a steamy hot spring break before a devastating battle with a god-blooded enemy leaves Oraya near death (again), and Raihn running to her last hope: family.

Ix’s Tits, let’s go!

✨ New Episode Drop: The Knight and the Moth ✨
For ten years, Sybil Delling—known only as Six—has been bound to the enchanted spring of Aisling Cathedral, interpreting visions from six mysterious beings called the Omens. But as her decade of servitude nears its end, her world unravels.

The boy king arrives. Her fellow Diviners begin to vanish. And Sybil is left with no one to turn to—except Roderick Myndacious, a brash, arrogant, and dangerously unreliable knight.

Together, they’re pulled into a perilous quest beyond the cathedral’s walls and into a realm of ravenous gods, twisted myths, and dangerous truths hidden deep in sacred waters.

🔥 The Knight and the Moth is a tale of faith, forbidden desire, and the cost of uncovering the divine.
