Sometimes, to move forward, you have to go back.

Lost. Powerless. Pursued. Liam Alden is, for the first time in his life, "normal". And that’s a problem, because he and the rest of the TEAm are stranded far away from home with law enforcement, Morgan Reilley, and the entire Salvai crime family hot on their trail. They’ll need every connection they’ve ever forged, and a major shift in approach, if they’re going to save both themselves and muses everywhere.

Come back home to New Candler one last time on October 14th, 2022 for the Season 3 premiere of VALENCE wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to seasons 1 and 2 of VALENCE now wherever you get your podcasts, and find out more at VALENCEpod.com.
