The Archivist's Exile

He spent twenty years archiving the truth—now it might be the only thing that keeps him alive. Marcus Vale was a Royal Archivist, more at home with parchment than peril. But when he uncovers a royal scandal—three million gold crowns siphoned from the kingdom—he’s sentenced to die. Instead, he’s exiled to the Blackwood, a forest so cursed even seasoned hunters won’t set foot inside. Armed with nothing but dusty knowledge and a stubborn will, Marcus must face a world where rivers whisper secrets, trees bend reality, and shadows don’t always stay still. Somewhere in the forest lies the reason he was really cast out... if the forest doesn’t consume him first. Can a scholar survive a place where logic dies? Can knowledge outwit the wild? And what truth waits in the heart of the Blackwood? To know more, listen to 'The Archivist's Exile' only on Pocket FM!
