Tristan Quicktune is a traveling minstrel with a habit of vanishing before dawn — and a secret he's carried since he was sixteen. When a commission to track down an ancient carved stone draws him in with a scholar, a soldier, and a man whose face you'd forget while still looking at it, the road leads somewhere older and stranger than any of them expected. The Minstrel's Shadow is the first book in the Dark Bard series.
