Rainier’s Legacy

Description

Join Corwyn Danther, “Famed Bard of the Midlands,” as he faces off with halfling highwaymen, long-forgotten horrors, mystical encounters, conniving conmen, and an old flame with some questionable machinations, along with a few other surprises in this short story collection from the author of The Wizard King Trilogy.

With a mixture of humor, adventure, insight, and wonder get ready to explore Tralodren in a whole new light. No epic struggles. No grand, glorious schemes. Just a pragmatically pacifistic bard and some of his varied adventures.

Welcome to Tralodren, a world rich in history, faith, and tales of adventure—of which these stories are but a handful of many.
