Here are the next two chapters from the audiobook of The Alchemist and the Eagle for your listening enjoyment. Chapter 6, "Superstitions," explores the theme of how religious beliefs can be cynically manipulated by unscrupulous rulers as seen through the eyes of Rin Jao and the Jolao Empire, and chapter 7, "The Power of Fear" explores the theme of how fear and uncertainty can lead to religious conversion as experienced through Ashi's reluctant ascension to the role of Holy Kyandara among the Tal. Enjoy!
