The Throne of Glass series is the reason I am here today.

I first encountered Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series when I was in my early teens. I struggled with a few things back then, including my ability to read aloud. Back then, I could barely string a sentence together, and reading felt like an insurmountable challenge. Throne of Glass was the first full book series I ever finished, and it marked a turning point in my life. Through Sarah’s writing, I was able to overcome so many personal hurdles—her characters, their journeys, and the themes of abuse, trauma, love, loss, healing, and triumph over darkness resonated with me in profound ways.
For over a decade, these stories and characters have walked with me, providing guidance, strength, and inspiration through difficult times. I owe a great deal of my personal growth to Sarah J. Maas and the world she’s created. As a way to express my gratitude and love for the series, I decided to produce a fan-based audio drama, hoping to bring the magic of Throne of Glass to life in a my own way. This project is my small tribute to the impact her work has had on me, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding journey to share it with others who also hold the series close to their hearts.

The Assassin’s Blade is a collection of novellas that serves as a prequel to Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series, and it is within these stories that my journey into self-produced audio dramas truly began.
During the challenging days of the 2020 pandemic, while I was still working as an essential worker, I started narrating and voicing all the characters in the first novella, The Assassin and the Pirate Lord. What began as a solitary effort soon evolved into something much more. As we progressed into the other novellas, I expanded the roster to include a talented group of voice actors, all generously volunteering their time and talent to bring these remarkable characters to life.
Looking back on this project, it has become a time capsule of both my growth as a voice actor and my development in audio production. It’s been an incredible journey—one that has allowed me to hone my skills while staying connected to the stories that have meant so much to me. Throughout the years, this project has remained a constant companion, and I’m proud to see it continue to grow and evolve.
