No Holds Bard

Welcome to Fortannis-a place where adventure waits to waylay you around every corner.It's a land where humans mingle with stubborn dwarves, mysterious elves, and feathered biata against shape-shifting gryphons, necromantic zombies, and silly goblins. It's a land where things are never as they seem; where good and evil are not always clear-cut, and where the strong do not always prevail.In Fortannis, one can learn magic by summoning the power of the flow of order in the world, to tie yourself to the living cycle of all around you. Or, if your inclinations are darker, you can be tempted by the flow of chaos and entropy, which allows you to create undead abominations and cast substantially more powerful spells (in exchange for the corruption of your soul). Hey, the choice is yours.This is the fifth collection of stories which take place in the world of Fortannis. Some of these stories feature characters introduced in the novels and the first four collections, but you don't have to read the earlier ones to enjoy these stories. You'll enjoy them more if you do, however. I recommend reading the books in the following order to keep the timeline consistent: Arch Enemies, The Axes of Evil, A Bard's Eye View, A Bard in the Hand, A Bard Day's Knight, It's a Wonderful Death, A Bard Act to Follow.Happy reading!
