The Bard's Tale Novels in Publication Order

Publication Order for The Bard's Tale

Read the three Mercedes Lackey coauthored novels in publication order: Castle of Deception, Fortress of Frost and Fire, then Prison of Souls. Each follows a different bard and can be enjoyed on its own, while recurring characters and the shared game-inspired setting connect the sequence. The broader novel line includes other writers, but those titles are outside this Mercedes Lackey author route.
