The Lute of Shadows
The Adventures of Joryn Quickfiddle
By Cory Wisener
In a world where songs can shape destiny, one bard's melody may be all that stands between light and eternal darkness.
Joryn Quickfiddle has wandered many roads, sung many tales, and toasted many tankards at countless taverns. But when he overhears whispers of a growing darkness in the old alehouse known as The Silver String, his path takes a turn unlike any before.
Drawn into a fellowship of unlikely heroes-an exiled knight, a wild-hearted druid, a clever thief, and a mage with a past steeped in shadow-Joryn joins a perilous quest to stop an ancient evil long thought buried. As corruption spreads across the realm and hope withers, their journey leads them deep into forgotten lands and lost truths.
When all seems lost, Joryn discovers a long-hidden relic: a mythical instrument known only in hushed legend as The Lute of Shadows. Crafted in ages past to harmonize light and darkness, this enchanted lute may be the last key to sealing the evil that threatens their world.
But power comes at a cost-and not all songs end in joy.
The Lute of Shadows is a sweeping fantasy adventure of courage, friendship, and the magic of music-a tale sung in firelight, whispered through ruins, and etched in the strings of destiny.
