This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. On the dying world of Zothique, King Euvoran's whole sovereignty rests on a single relic: the fabled gazolba bird, slain ages past and set in gold atop his crown. When a condemned sorcerer breathes unnatural life back into the creature and it soars away – crown and all – the proud monarch swears to chase it across the last seas of the world. So begins a voyage of wonders and grotesqueries, past cannibal isles and monstrous shores, where every marvel quietly mocks a king too vain to grasp that some crowns, once flown, were never meant to be reclaimed.
