The Lark and the Wren

Rune is young, brash, and impulsive enough to climb Skull Hill and play her fiddle for the ghost said to haunt it. When the spirit appears, she stakes her soul on keeping him entertained until sunrise. This opening Bardic Voices novel introduces Alanda, where independent musicians make their way outside the powerful Bardic Guild. It begins Rune’s journey into a world where music can be both a livelihood and a dangerous kind of magic.
