Summary

A terrible curse, a bard hunting the unknown. A powerful force has arisen, but it's face is still unknown

In the land of Theugua, where people still whisper of the ancient tales of old, a young bard practices with his famous master. In this ancient land, people called bards exist; warriors that can cast magic using their musical instruments. This land is full of legends, but they are nothing more than tales aimed to frighten the young, or entertain the old. But Ornsell, a simple man in everything but his soul, couldn't have known that those tales where coming back to life and that one of them was hunting him that very morning.

Ornsell's son, Vygarast, a half-elf and a bard-in-training, finds himself in the middle of unnatural events that spin his life out of control. Without knowing it, he finds himself entangled in a dangerous game of fate, one that will lead him into the greatest adventure of his life with thousands of lives on the line.

Theugua, once a land of peaceful humans and elves, is now threatened by what was meant to stay hidden, what was meant to slumber forever more deep in the shadows of space and time. The world is changing and nothing will ever be the same.

This is The Bard's Tale!

"The Bard's Tale" - a journey from your dream!

“The Bard’s Tale” is a very engaging audiobook, that contains all elements of good fantasy story. We can admire magical medieval villages and towns, hear epic songs about famous knights, follow deep path in the forest and see magical and mythological creature like spiders, ogres, hydras and fairies. We can see fierce fights, tearful scenes, magical spells and famous legends. The most interesting character is The Owl Wizard who is greedy, a little creepy but has a great heart and power. I admire the scene when he is dancing and chanting in the middle of storm and thunders.
The narrator Jason Damron does a wonderful performance and create atmosphere of danger, fear and suspense, especially when he acting as different characters.
Hart is a very creative and passionate author that using vivid imagination, traditional elements of good fantasy story and very emotional language. His world is full of fantastic creatures, rich descriptions and action twists and turns. “The Bard’s Tale” is a great bedtime story for everybody, this kind of story that is nostalgic and makes you want to read them again and again. Highly recommended.

Interesting adventure

A short and sweet story that follows the adventures of young Vygarast, a bard in training who is forced to make an unexpected journey in order to save his father. There are many dangers and obstacles along the way that Vygarast must face which causes him to learn a lot about himself and the enchanted land he lives in. The peace of his homeland rests on Vygarast’s shoulders and so it is interesting seeing Vygarast develop as a character as he has to manifest a strength and qualities that initially seem beyond his abilities.
