À propos de ce contenu audio

The Witcher meets Terry Pratchett in this dark fantasy comedy audiobook about a crew of spectacularly useless monster hunters.

The Breakaways is a fantasy humour podcast and serialised audiobook following Benzan and his accident-prone crew of would-be heroes. After years spent as the expendable lackeys of one of the most feared monster hunters in the land, Benzan, Hylda, Dudley, and Lukas strike out on their own, with predictably disastrous results.

Set in a grim, monster-infested world packed with fire-breathing beasts, bad decisions, and gallows humour, The Breakaways blends dark fantasy, comedy, and character-driven storytelling.

Expect sharp dialogue, violent encounters, and the kind of humour that only shows up when everything is already going wrong.

Perfect for fans of dark fantasy audiobooks, fantasy comedy podcasts, and humorous takes on grim worlds.

New chapters released weekly.

    • Part 1: The Drake - Chapter 3
      Feb 1 2026

      After setting off on their hunt for the drake, Ben and the crew climb the fells in search of its hiding place.

      But up there on the windy hills, they see something they wished they hadn't.

      Harried by their fears, they hurry on into the driving wind and rain, when things take a sudden, sharp turn...

      About The Breakaways

      Set in a world where monsters outnumber humans, The Breakaways is a gritty, character-driven dark fantasy audiobook series following bounty hunters who never quite became heroes.

      Benzan spent years serving in the most famous monster-hunting crew in the realm, enduring ridicule and cruelty under their sadistic leader, Marteus. Eventually, he’d had enough. Along with a handful of other cast-offs, he broke away to form a crew of his own.

      There’s just a reason legends are legends, and people like Benzan are not.

      Blending dark fantasy, black humour, and flawed underdog characters, The Breakaways is perfect for listeners who enjoy grim worlds, sharp dialogue, and fantasy stories that don’t take themselves too seriously.

      A Dark Fantasy Audiobook with Grit, Gallows Humour, and Monsters

      Think Terry Pratchett colliding with The Witcher in a dark fantasy comedy audiobook about a crew of spectacularly useless monster hunters who are way out of their depth.

      Benzan has finally landed the crew’s first real contract, and he hasn’t aimed small. A drake has been feasting on sheep near the remote town of Pancho’s Hold, and the bounty is enough to change everything.

      There’s just one problem. Their former crewmaster, Marteus, brutal, ambitious, and very much not retired, is hunting the same monster and closing in fast.

      Can Benzan and his misfit crew track down the drake first? And even if they do, can they survive long enough to kill it without completely ruining everything?

      Terry Pratchett meets The Witcher in this dark fantasy comedy about a crew of useless monster hunters

      Benzan has secured the crew's first contract, and he's gone big—slaying a drake that's been getting fat on the sheep by the town of Pancho's Hold.

      There's another hitch—their old crewmaster, Marteus, is going for it too, and hot on their tail.

      Can Benzan and the crew find the drake first? And even if they do, can they avoid screwing up long enough to slay it?

      About The Breakaways

      In a world where monsters outnumber humans, crews of bounty hunters take on contracts to keep the beasts at bay.

      Benzan has been a member of the most famous crew of all for a long time, but he grew fed up with being underappreciated and mocked by his crewmates and their sadistic leader, Marteus.

      Instead, he and a few others broke away and formed their own crew, only there's a reason why the heroes are the heroes and people like Benzan are not.

      Gritty, character-driven, and laced with gallows humour, The Breakaways is a fantasy tale for anyone who’s ever rooted for the underdog.
