This week, Destinies welcomes back author Athena M. Kaiman, for a live phone interview.

Tune in Friday night at 11:15, as the cli-fi writer returns to discuss her latest novel DAR and Earth: Yasteron.

This book, the third in the series, continues the story of the magical being Aelish, and her genius human student, Isabela, who must both somehow rise from the ashes of their shattered lives after the breathtaking cliffhanger in Book 2. Their resolve to do so is a testament to their determination to stop the extinction event looming on the horizon for humans, caused by the climate crisis on Earth. You'll learn about Athena's research for this ongoing project.

And, you'll hear an excerpt from the story, read by the author and host Howard Margolin.

Friday, July 26th, at 11:15 PM.
