In a world where words are power, a bard’s curse weighs heavy on those who draw his wrath.
Tuathal, master bard and prince of two realms, journeys north to his half-brother’s court.When Pyder of the Ford breaks the laws of hospitality, Tuathal’s satire brings ruin in its wake.But more than just righteous anger moves over field and forest. What began as an insult reveals far darker things moving in the realm Fiachta NoDomnail, low king of the Dunalaid.
A wandering bard and prince, Tuathal faces a war that will burn down all that his kindred have built. To stop it and lift a bard’s curse may cost more than he is willing to pay.
Words have power, but darker powers than those of man also have a say.
