Alistair & Kael

The Greyed-Out Echoes

By: Cameron Daniels

Narrated by: Chris Arden

In a world that has forgotten its colors, a velveteen rabbit with a patched-up heart holds onto a single dream: to become Real.

For a hundred silent years, Alistair has watched the grey, empty world from behind the glass of a broken storefront. His only companions are the Echoes—faint whispers of human emotion that grant him consciousness. His only hope is the legend of The Last Cradle, a mythical place that can turn a toy into a living being.

His lonely existence is interrupted by the arrival of Kael, a clockwork fox, a Sentinel bound by a forgotten duty. Kael is a creature of logic and rust, his purpose as empty as the city streets he patrols. He is a machine without a soul.

Driven by a courage he didn't know he possessed, Alistair steps out into the desolate world to ask the clockwork fox to join him on an impossible journey. Together, they venture into the ruins of civilization, one made of velvet and dreams, the other of cogs and code. They must learn to trust each other, navigate a world of sentient, broken things, and confront a terrifying entity that consumes memories.

On their quest, they will discover that a heart is not something you are made with, but something you choose to build.

Alistair & Kael: The Greyed-Out Echoes is a timeless, poetic tale for listeners of all ages who loved The Little Prince, The Velveteen Rabbit, and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. It is a story about finding purpose in a broken world, the courage to love, and the quiet miracle of becoming Real.
