Over 500 more — and every new one first — are on Sleepbound Premium. Free for 7 days, cancel any time.\n→ Supercast: sleepboundstudios.supercast.com\n→ Patreon: patreon.com/c/SleepBound\nOur other two shows, if tonight's isn't quite what you were after:\n→ Sleepbound Nights — original cosy bedtime stories for grown-ups: Apple Podcasts\n→ Sleepbound Soundscapes — ambient sleep music, no narration: Apple Podcasts\n\n\n\nWelcome, dear listeners — and a warm welcome to those settling in with Sleepbound for the very first time tonight.\nWe begin something new this evening: an original fan fiction audiobook set in the world of Downton Abbey, following seventeen-year-old Violet Pembury through her second London Season. Clever and quietly aware of every penny her family doesn't have, Violet surveys the marriage market at Lady Whitmore's glittering ball — until a quiet viscount with steady brown eyes and working hands catches her attention rather more than she'd planned.\nThis is an original fan fiction work — not affiliated with the official Downton Abbey franchise — written and produced with deep affection for that world.\nAs a Patreon supporter, the complete audiobook is yours to download and keep. Thank you, truly, for being here.\n\nBeauty, wit, blood — and no money. The mathematics of the Season were brutal, and Violet had learned them early.\n\n\n\nFollow the channel and leave a like if you're enjoying the story — it makes a real difference. If you love the world of Downton, our sister channel Sleepbound Nights carries an original sequel series set after the show — well worth a listen. Next episode, Violet finds herself seated beside Lord Downton at supper, and the conversation takes a turn neither of them quite anticipated.\nSleep well tonight.\nIncludes mentions of: Beverages, Gaslit settings, Romance, Financial pressures, Period social customs.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/i3KcOLdrBAcMELpAUwt0BHGPtrxJNbUG61cRQR16fu8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80N2Q3/YTk3NTRlNTBmZmUz/NDkzMmQ3ZjljYmM1/ODEzNi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
