Wisdom hides from adventure.
Panic doesn’t have a plan.
Never listen to the guy who brings a lute to a sword fight.


All souls enter the afterlife screaming, but Renly Teurig's didn't make a sound. Intrigued, the goddess Neuillya came to hear the Bard's tale.

Born of the Teurig, a renowned company of performers, a young musician unwittingly binds himself to the lute of a celestial muse. Tragedy, exile, and chaos follow. As Renly struggles to master the lute's power and understand the mysterious forces that threaten his world, his days become a series of supernatural encounters, daring gambles, and near-death escapes.

Bard Hard is high-fantasy at its best, combining immersive world-building and magic systems with a humorous narrator. It takes readers on their first journey into the fantastical world of Kiir, following the life and times of one of its most enigmatic and conflicted inhabitants. With epic quests, thrilling battles, and unexpected twists and turns, it's a tale of destiny, identity, truth, sacrifice, and the power of storytelling.

"This book is a masterpiece of worldbuilding, 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."
