Bard Tidings
A Humorous Fantasy Adventure​
​
The spirit of a warrior lies deep inside a bard. Deep down. Way, way down.
Jonas wakes up each day regretting his position as the king’s bard. He dreams of escaping the kingdom and returning to life as a traveling musician with his best friend Elrick. But when his love Bree is taken prisoner in the castle, he and Elrick must act. Their attempts at rescue go horribly wrong, and the king marks them for death. Now they must flee the kingdom with a hefty reward on their heads.
Meanwhile, the king’s soldiers march to war, placing Bree’s hometown in their path of destruction. Jonas must go from lute player to monster slayer as they travel through dangerous lands on a desperate quest to stop an army.
Their adventures throw them in league with fearsome lycans, stabby assassins, and a cursed warrior. With their help they must survive a pursuing dragon, slay a sorcerer, defeat an army, and of course, compose the perfect song along the way.
Can Jonas and his friends survive the journey and save an innocent town before it’s too late?
"Bard Tidings by Paul Regnier is a hero's journey like no other, filled with formidable foes, enchanted spirits, light-hearted humor, and a destiny waiting to be fulfilled. Howl's Moving Castle meets Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves in this charming cozy fantasy that breaks the rules and has fun when it does."
—Merrie Destefano, USA Today bestselling author of Shade, Lost Girls and Valiant
