Song of the Exiles

From the multi-award-winning, Amazon bestselling author of The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs comes a thrilling new fantasy series.

In the Miers, a fragile peace has held for the twenty years since the Spirit Wars. Mortals stay within their boundaries, and the Faen keep to the Lost Green. Anything else is suicide. Renly Teurig, a young musician, unwittingly binds himself to a Bardic War Lute, becoming the reluctant Champion of Tetulinok, a Celestial Muse. Acting on the Muse's will soon ends in disaster—his sister Chloe is left unable to walk, scarred beyond recognition, and Renly is exiled in disgrace.

Years later, Tetulinok sends Renly to a town on the edge of civilization to find a mysterious young woman. Shyloh is the mirror image of his sister, down to the last freckle—but untouched by the injuries that led to his banishment. As strangers from across the land converge on Shyloh, Renly uncovers a web of danger and secrets far greater than he imagined. Pieces are moving into place, setting in motion a calamity not seen in over three thousand years—and Renly might be the one to tip the scales.

Redemption, a found family of misfits, powerful mentors with secrets, ancient prophecies, and reluctant heroes. Bard Hard is fantasy at its best, combining immersive world-building and intricate magic systems with a quick-witted narrator. Dive into the breathtaking world of Kiir through the eyes of Renly Teurig, one of its most enigmatic and conflicted inhabitants. Epic quests, thrilling battles, and unexpected twists, this is a tale of destiny, identity, truth, sacrifice, and the power of a story well told.
