About this listen

"The Betyar and the Magus" was published in the anthology Blackguards: Tales of Assassins, Mercenaries, and Rogues.

About this story, author S. R. Cambridge says, "When writing, I often take inspiration from real history, especially the history that often isn't read about that often. 'The Betyár and the Magus' and the characters in it came to be because I started to read a lot about the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, a war for independence by Hungary against the Austrian Empire. Hungary was the victor in a series of early battles and looked like it was winning until the Austrian Empire allied with Russia for help. Russia, a formidable power at the time, brought it all to an end in short order. So I began to build a sort of historical-fantasy alternate universe out of the revolution and what happened before and after. 'The Betyár and the Magus' takes place six months after the end of the revolution."

Well done

Nice dialogue and flow I'd listen to more of both author and narrator for sure

the only problem with this is it ends

great short story which simply BEGS to be changed into a full length novel, or even series. such a great start to an infinite number of stories never to be told.
