Bard Hard - Paperback

by T. Ellery Hodges (Author)

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

"Fantastic-if you liked The Black Tongue Thief, The Name of the Wind, and/or Kings of the Wyld-YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!"
Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer, Bryn Anderson

Some tips: Never underestimate the guy who brings a lute to a sword fight. Panic means you don't have a plan. And if a muse ever offers to inspire you-pass.

When Renly picked up a Bardic War Lute, he didn't know it would bind him to a celestial muse. Now, he is her instrument. And she means to change the world... even if it kills him.

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. With epic quests, thrilling battles, and unexpected twists, this is a tale of destiny, identity, truth, sacrifice, and the power of a story well told.

What Readers Are Saying:

"A must-read for fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson!"
Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer, Patrick C

"This book is a masterpiece of world-building, of fantastical storytelling, and for a character as snarky and irreverent as Renly Teurig can (sometimes) be, it's surprisingly heartfelt, poignant, and tragic. I cannot WAIT to see where Renly's story goes from here."
Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer, PlasmatixUltra

"A worthy successor to The Name of the Wind."
Narrator of Dimensional Traveller, David Winter

"Picked by the gods-or picked on? Either way, it's gloriously problematic! LOTR, GOT, watch out-the new epic is here! I can't wait for the next book. The world is waiting for this; it just doesn't know it yet..."
Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer, Laura Lee De Nio
