From an award-winning author and lifelong musician comes the second novel of The Bardic Isles Series.
Gifted with the power of the Bards of ancient Eire - a power not even he understands - Kaelin is given the golden opportunity to learn from the other four Masters of the Bardic Isles. He'll spend three months with each of them: the Instrument Master, the Master Flutist, the Voice Master, and the Master Harpist. But a false allegation turns the apprentice's journey into a living nightmare, one which threatens to take away everything ... his instruments, his robe, and worst of all, his own Master. As Kaelin learns the hardest lessons of his life, the music of Bardic Mountain pulls at him, and his sleep is disturbed by visions. Can he escape the injustice of Bardic Law and the mysteriously escalating pull of the mountain?
Unique in the fantasy genre and a great read for all ages, this is pure, character-driven storytelling. Instead of the usual fantasy tropes of magical creatures or spells, it is brought to life with the incredible magic of music. The audiobooks feature the actual music described by the narrator, all of which was composed by the author.
The Bardic Isles Series has won nine international awards, including:
- 2024 Readers' Favorite Fiction Audiobook Gold Medal Winner,
- 2024 IP Awards Outstanding Audiobook Winner
- 2023 IAN Fantasy Book of the Year Winner
- BookFest Audiobook Silver Medal Winner
- B.R.A.G. Medallion
