About this listen
The Halfling’s Burden
A lyrical, Tolkien-inspired fantasy of quiet courage, ancient magic, and an unlikely heroine.
When a long-forgotten evil begins to stir across the gentle lands of Eldertide, hope doesn’t ride with kings or warriors—but with a halfling who’s never strayed beyond her garden gate.
Thistle of Willowdale is content with her tea, her books, and the quiet rhythms of village life—until a mysterious traveler arrives bearing a secret burden and a warning of encroaching darkness. Chosen not for might but for her unassuming courage, Thistle—alongside her loyal friend Rory—must carry a powerful relic through the haunted Wilderwood, facing goblins, ghostly riddles, and tests of mercy that even heroes might fail.
What begins as a simple errand becomes a perilous journey of heart, grit, and purpose. In a world where the smallest voice is often overlooked, Thistle will prove that light shines brightest in humble hands.
📘 A richly told fantasy adventure in the tradition of The Hobbit, perfect for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin, classic high fantasy, and emotionally resonant tales of underdog heroes.
