James D. Priest is a writer who has made the first two stories from his The KIRINS Trilogy available as free audiobooks.

Book one of The KIRINS Trilogy

A race of tiny, magical beings lives on Earth today. They dwell in elaborate tree homes and mysterious underground sanctuaries. Because of an ancient dispute, however, humans are unaware of their hidden civilization.

They are kirins.

For thousands of years they lived in peace. But a deadly menace now threatens their existence. A party of daring explorers, led by the wise magician Speckarin, is sent on trained ravens to destroy an evil lurking a continent and an ocean away. Failure of this mission would mean death to the voyagers and the entire kirin race. But their success will depend on aid from a truly unexpected source, human beings.

Fly with these adventurers and witness today's world as it has never before been seen. You'll find yourself looking to the skies for this mystical race of beings, because maybe, just maybe . . .

Book two of The KIRINS Trilogy

A race of tiny magical beings lives on Earth today.

They are kirins.

Because of an ancient dispute, however, humans are unaware of their hidden civilization. For thousands of years they lived in peace, but a deadly menace now threatens their existence. A party of daring explorers led by the wise magician, Speckarin, is sent to destroy an evil lurking a continent and an ocean away.

In this second book of the KIRINS trilogy, the party reaches the sea, a vast and impassable entity. They encounter a reclusive clan of magicians, and the generous but reluctant Findadors, who produce music from their souls, and reveal how the quest may be carried on. The travelers depart to cross the ocean, and on their way discover a place that takes them to the beginning of time.

Behold the ocean world as it has never before been seen. Journey with these bold adventurers as they challenge the great water in search of their destination—the land where magic began.
