Good news for our ears, BDH!
The dramatized adaptation of Wildfire by Graphic Audio is almost here, and we have exclusive preview samples for you today, because we are beloved and people enjoy enabling our anticipation!
We’ve gone back and forth on which samples to ask for, but in the end it just *had* to be:
The dashing male secretary:
Rogan’s Madero Live Demonstration (to feed our bloodthirst):
Arabella’s trial, because MATHS BETRAYAL:
There is one more sample on the Graphic Audio Wildfire page, the series debut of Vicky Baby!
The full release lands on January 20th on the Graphic Audio Access platform and all the usual audio retailers, and yes, it includes Rogan’s third POV, featuring House Adé-Afẹ́fẹ́. If you’ve been waiting to hear that particular thread brought to life, your patience is about to be rewarded.
And the Hidden Legacy adaptations continue! Fellow BDH members are helping with Basque pronunciations, I’m currently deep in script feedback, and Megan &team will start recording on Diamond Fire, which is already live for preorder and will be released on the 23rd of March.
For those wondering about the Kate Daniels universe adaptations: Nora Achrati will be back at work in the Kate world sometime mid-January, woohoo!
Oh boy, will have to come back for this later. Adulting calls rn.
Adulting didn’t snatch away your First award though! 😀
Thank you! Didn’t ruin the day either – unseasonably warm and sunny, so after adulting I got to go hiking with my niece!
The two samples I got to hear were excellent. It really is like a movie in your mind. The Maduro Live Demo says Error today – not sure what it would have said had I listened in a more timely fashion. However, the other two were entirely sufficient, so this is not a complaint, just an observation.
Hey, I just tested it and it works for me, maybe refresh? 🙂
Glad you had a fun day!
Same — I saw the clips and realized I’d have to wait to listen. Pesky responsibilities. . .
However, I am now free to do the Graphic Audio Happy Dance!!!
Squee! Unfortunately I’m probably finishing my relisten early… Today. But so excited!
I noticed that Wild Fire’s GA adaptation is a few hours shorter than the original recording. Are there GA adaptations slightly shorter ?
Excuse me i meant Burn for Me.
The first step of the adaptation is turning the books into essentially movie scripts – it’s what I am reviewing right now 🙂
As a direct consequence, things that are dealt with now in the sound effects or actor interpretation- “he laughed”, “the sound of his steps walking away” etc- are not needed anymore, because the actor laughs and the soundtrack inserts steps walking away, so the narrator doesn’t say them.
The other thing that happens is that dialogue and dramatization has a naturally faster rhythm than reading the book, especially when the original narrator has a more sedate, storytelling pace. This is people talking and interacting in real time 🙂
TL;DR The scripts are abridged from the book as pertains to format, but plot points or important moments and scenes are not left out 🙂
And now I finally understand why I love graphic audio and can’t do audio books.
I read so much faster than a audio book that my mind wanders, but I love graphic audio.
+1
Thank you so much!!
I noticed this too. Almost 3 hours shorter?
Oooooh so excited!! Nora is an amazing narrator!!
Oh my gosh, who ever does Victoria Tremaine got her spot on! I can’t wait to hear the whole “Vicky, baby” scene with Victoria and Linus when Catalina’s series gets put into Graphic Audio. I’ll be laughing so much my stomach will hurt.
The scene with Arabella and math – 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree with Catalina, I can do that math in my sleep.
I have this pre-ordered so at least I know what to expect.
Thanks Mod R for letting us hear what is coming to us later in the month! A great start to 2026. 😁
We’ll get to hear Alessandro for the first time when the trials happen.
Fun! Thanks for the preview!
fantastic! thank you!
oooh I almost forgot this was January. I had the strangest certainty I would have to wait for March. very happy to be wrong!
Made my day!!! Thank you, Mod R and GA!
My favorite series of all time! I’m so excited!
Lol, at “Sean” (Danny Gavigan) as Vincent the bad guy
This!!! 😆 My brain actually did a “wait, what?” double take!
Woo hoo! Thanks Mod R! Great sample choices!
Off to pre-order Diamond Fire!
Oops! Already did that apparently! 😂
And there was much rejoicing…
yay!! common core math is my fave line in the book. can’t wait! TYVM!
thank you for this ModR
Maths betrayal, Omg that was so my household. My youngest has Dyscalculia, which makes my two older kids side eye him ( they pretty much majored in math). But when they talk about partial differential equations, or even geometry he can verbally keep up. He just can’t look at numbers and understand that “language”. He’s worked very hard maintaining 4.0.
Ok, I’ll wait for a sale to buy this. Should be AMAZING!! And Rinda is so dumb!!!
I had it marked as releasing Jan 9….why – crying – but I am just happy they have Diamond up to pre-order
The Kate Daniels graphic audio books are my favorite audiobooks of all time. Excited to know we will have more headed our way!
Happy, happy! Joy, joy! Thank you for the snippets, can’t wait for the release.
Ah! I cannot wait. I discovered the dramatized adaptations around Christmas and have made my way through the two Hidden Legacy adaptions, Magic Bites & the first three Innkeeper adaptations. Great way to reread the books!
Thank you, these were great!
Any possibility of printing Burn For Me as a hardcover individually? I can only find paperback versions and I usually buy print copies in hardcover form. I think I saw that it was only released as a paperback until the Arcane Society box set. I already own the other two in the series and would love this one as well.
Hi Liliana,
These Hidden Legacy is a traditionally published series – only the publisher can decide formats, print type and retail options 🙂
Can’t wait! I love this series because the whole set of characters could carry their own books. I’m hoping to get Leon as a “mature” adult fighting magical crime with his mini Rogan cousin/nephew as a sidekick.
GA does a great job, as usual. I still can’t picture Rogan with that voice, though. Feels off from the dragon description in the books.
I, too, found it different to what I had imagined.
Already Pre-ordered, from a while back when it first went up for pre-order. 😉
I just started the Hidden Legacy series–currently halfway through White Hot–and am obsessed. The GA versions of Innkeeper are my security blanket rereads and have gotten me through many stressful moments.
Eeee! I can’t wait!
Oooo I needed snippets today.
I love GA – thank you all so much!
Hmmm… The site’s html code seems to have garbled something. following “Rogan’s third POV”, it says, “featuring House Adé-Afẹ́fẹ́.” Is “Adé-Afẹ́fẹ́” what it was supposed to say? [Edit: MOD R]
It is the name of a Nigerian House, meaning Wind-Crowned. The diacritics are intentional 🙂 . The pronunciation can be searched https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/af%E1%BA%B9f%E1%BA%B9 or heard in the audio book, as GA has taken care with casting Yoruba-speakers actors for authenticity.
A gentle reminder for everyone: names and words drawn from real-world languages and cultures can look surprising if you’re not used to them, but they’re not jokes or errors. A little respectful curiosity goes a long way, and we’re always happy to help with context 🙂
Thank you for the clarification. HTML code often scrambled stuff in a similar manner to this, so I really thought that was more of the same, thus I really appreciate the elucidation.
Fine, take my money 🤑👍🥰
so cool, thank you Mod R and the GA team for these goodies
also just double checked and I’d already pre-ordered both (queue happy dance)
I LOVE the “Math Betrayal”! I can soooo relate and I didn’t have common core math, just taught the old fashioned way. I credit my Science teacher for teaching me more about math than my actual math teacher. Mr. Cady, wherever you are, thank you for your time and patience back then!
The Hidden Legacy series needs to keep going, If you still can’t write Arabella’s novel, please come up with another full length on something else. Thanks!
The Augustine novella is right around the corner 😉
I love 💕 love 💕 love 💕 the GA versions.
I’m currently rereading the Innkeeper Chronicles via the GraphicAudio audiobooks, and I have but one humble request: please no more over the top kissing noises as sound effects. I beg.
But still very much looking forward to reliving this series in such a unique way.
