What if your dreams weren’t dreams at all—but fragments of a hidden past waiting to be uncovered? Leaf Runner by John C Stroebel, masterfully narrated by Phillip Nathaniel Freeman and produced and published by Audiobook Publishing Services, is a gripping historical thriller audiobook blending mystery, suspense, family secrets, supernatural intrigue, and global adventure into an unforgettable listening experience. Mercer Evans is a brilliant yet chronically late hedge fund analyst whose life begins to unravel when vivid dreams start haunting him—dreams so real they feel like forgotten memories. Strange places, unfamiliar faces, and unsettling visions refuse to leave his mind. But everything changes when an old map sent by his uncle arrives with Madagascar circled in red, hinting at secrets buried deep within his family’s past. Driven by questions surrounding his missing brother and the mystery behind his recurring visions, Mercer embarks on a dangerous journey across continents and centuries. From the bustling streets of New York City to the ancient ruins of Wales and the colonial history of Madagascar, Mercer and his sister Lizzy uncover a hidden family legacy tied to pivotal moments in history. But the truth comes at a cost. As Mercer’s dreams begin revealing shocking truths about his ancestors, he discovers that powerful forces have spent generations manipulating history—and they are watching his every move. With danger closing in, Mercer faces an impossible choice: expose secrets capable of changing everything or protect truths meant to stay buried forever.
