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

Do not seek the Muse's song.
Do not be seduced by inspiration.
Do not look upon beauty and forget its cost.

Renly Teurig never meant to bind himself to a Muse. One stolen tune. One forbidden lute. Now he's her Champion-chosen to be inspired, and burdened by consequence.

He thought he could handle it. He was wrong. Spectacularly.

Following the Muse's will left his sister, Chloe, scarred and silent-and Renly in exile.

Years have passed. The world has moved on. Peace holds in the Miers-so long as no one crosses into the Faen's woods. But when the Muse sends Renly to a nowhere town on the edge of civilization, he finds something impossible.

Because of course he does.

Shyloh.

A girl who looks exactly like Chloe. Same hair. Same freckles. Same eyes.
Except she's untouched by tragedy.

As strangers from both sides of the boundary converge on Shyloh, Renly is pulled into a web of prophecy, divine agendas, and long-buried secrets. You know-just another week in the life of a Muse's Champion.

Something ancient is stirring. Something dangerous. And Renly might be the one to tip the balance-if it doesn't destroy him first.

He wanted redemption. What he got was Shyloh.

Bard Hard is a high-stakes, heart-heavy fantasy full of wit, wonder, and wounds that refuse to close.
