UPDATE: New developments from the AppleTV series Pluribus reveal that fans can now access a free excerpt of the show’s fictitious book, Bloodsong of Wycaro. The excerpt, spanning 11 pages, is available for immediate reading on Apple Books and features Chapter 16, titled “The Isle of Sanantes.”
In a bold move, character Carol Sturka, portrayed by Rhea Seehorn, announces her decision to share a portion of her work for free, stating, “I’m going to do something that is antithetical to capitalism: give my work away for free.” This surprising gesture aligns with the show’s narrative, where Carol contends with her audience’s fixation on a character’s absence from the cover.
The chapter confirms that Captain Lucasia’s love interest, Raban, who faced a treacherous fate in the previous installment, Stormshadow, is alive and well. This revelation echoes hints dropped during the Pluribus pilot, generating buzz among fans eager for more clarity on the storyline.
In this gripping excerpt, Lucasia embarks on a perilous journey to save her cursed crew, who are incapacitated and unable to fend for themselves. As they navigate a fierce storm, their mission is to locate the elusive Madam Asclepius, a banished healer capable of restoring their health.
Alongside this intriguing chapter, readers will find Carol’s author bio highlighting her literary achievements, including multiple accolades such as the Mars & Eros Reader’s Choice Award. The excerpt also promotes the show, enticing readers to engage further with the Pluribus universe.
The release strategy mirrors a previous promotional effort by Apple for the series Severance, which offered a downloadable self-help book earlier this year.
New episodes of Pluribus air every Friday on Apple TV, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Those who dive into the Bloodsong of Wycaro excerpt are encouraged to share their thoughts on its potential impact in the romantasy genre in the comments section.
