Renaissance is a short story set in the world of the Traitor Son Cycle. Though far from the events of the series, it does provide a glimpse into the universe. Lacking overall depth, it does tell an entertaining story, complete with hermetic magic and knightly code.
Though Tomasso is little more than a beggar, he is still a noble. Last scion of the House of Lupi—a once… minor clan fallen on even harder times—he considers himself a good enough man. While he has less potentia than the average squirrel, Tomasso is a fair hand with the sword, could read and write, and proved a hard worker in the fields.
Fields that he, as a nobleman, could not plow, but did so anyway. For Tomasso cared little what other men thought of him. After all, he had his health, and his books—and that was all that he needed.

Renaissance is an audible exclusive read by Joe Jameson. I’m a huge fan of the narrator, and could listen to him read pretty much anything (even non-fiction maybe!).
The story itself is quite short (only about 1 hour long at x1.0 speed), and never too intensive. It’s not a white-knuckled ride, but the story of a man without any ambition, who cared for little besides his books and his health. Despite that (or maybe because of it), Renaissance proved quite a good, relaxing read. Surprisingly immersive, since reading it I’ve dreamt of more of Tomasso’s life: to be penniless and downtrodden, owner of a tiny keep—empty, but for his small library—and dreams of adventure.
Very much recommended if you have access to the Plus Library, or can find it on sale—or maybe even at your local library. As far as I’m aware, there’s no written version, sadly. And I’m not convinced it’s worth the $10.50 price tag, nor the $10 CD price (it’s only an hour, after all), but if you really wanted, you might spend a credit on it. It’s quite a good time.

6 Mr Cameron never gets it wrong. Just too short of a story!
