One Bard. Seven Tales. Join Corwyn Danther, "Famed Bard of the Midlands," as he faces off with halfling highwaymen, long-forgotten horrors, mystical encounters, conniving con men, and an old flame with some questionable machinations, along with a few other surprises in this short story collection. With a mixture of humor, adventure, insight, and wonder get ready to explore Tralodren in a whole new light. No epic struggles. No grand, glorious schemes. Just a pragmatically pacifistic bard and some of his varied adventures. Welcome to Tralodren, a world rich in history, faith, and tales of adventure--of which these stories are but a handful of many. The seven stories included in this collection are: RAINIER'S LEGACY
Corwyn takes part in an expedition to the Northlands looking for the answer of eternal life but soon finds himself in a wild adventure where his own life hangs in the balance. MAIDEN ROCK
While visiting a shrine infrequently sought after by the faithful, Corwyn draws closer to the divine, birthing an encounter that will stay with him the rest of his life. WHERE DREAMS GO TO DIE
During a strong downpour, Corwyn finds a cemetery next to an inn in which he takes shelter. He soon discovers, however, that this is no ordinary inn, and both it and the cemetery are more connected than he could ever imagine. CHARITY FOR HALFLINGS
A fruitless search leads Corwyn and an old dwarven friend traveling alone on a road at night, wherein they meet up with some halfling highwaymen who receive more than they were expecting from the duo. SELLSWORDS AND SNAKE OIL
When two demon hunters arrive in a small village, Corwyn and his dwarven friend get wrapped up in a strange series of events that become more confusing and life-threatening the further they progress. THE FORGOTTEN
While running for his life in the Grasslands of Gondad, Corwyn comes upon a neglected memorial from a once mighty empire. Curious and eager to escape his pursuers, he begins an investigation, leading to a supernatural encounter. THE MORE THINGS CHANGE
While on vacation for the summer, a request for aid from an old flame soon sends Corwyn into a mess of halfling thieves, ancient tombs, treasure, and some other rather messy issues he finds hard-pressed to get out of so easily. "Rainier's Legacy is a devious, wild, fascinating collection of interconnected fantasy stories. Fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Joe Abercrombie will find so much to love here. Bravo!"--Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Kagen the Damned and Son of the Poison Rose "Corwyn's journeys are rife with fun, adventure, love, and heartbreak...Corrie's best work to date."--Geek'd-Out! "Corrie's vivid descriptions capture the imagination and bring life to the unique world of Tralodren...[a] land ripe with mythology and magic..."--Romantic Times on a previous edition "...worth a read as an entertaining, diverse, often humorous, yet thoughtful set of tales, with an interesting fantasy hero who doesn't need swords and wizardry to effect his ends."--SF Site on a previous edition
