Carey's debut novel, The Bard's Ballad, meet Clef Cantatio, a bard who could be the best of his time. Now your first thought may be that a bard is a mere performer, similar to a minstrel. It's a common belief. But I warn you not to tell Clef these thoughts. A bard is more than just a beautiful voice. Bards have magic in their words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClef could make him and his entire team disappear without a trace using just a simple charm, which he may have to do on his most recent Lily mission. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is the Lily, you may ask? The Lily is an elite organization that hires the most powerful men and women in the land. And Clef, well, he is the best of the best. With Clef's powerful words, he and his team have made it through every mission tasked to them: though not without a few close calls. If not for his fellow fighters, he likely would have died long ago. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fighter Bonneville Arroway has saved them from perilous encounters, using both brute strength and a blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoscoe Cobbletoss, a cleric of the nature goddess Anar, has saved their lives countless times with the healing gifts bestowed upon him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mage Finnon Aleslosh has defeated armies with his simple bag of stones and his not-so-simple evocations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, there is Kriv Mystan, who... well... no one is really sure what he does, but with his draconic ancestry and pure black eyes, he could scare the bravest of men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin Clef on his most recent adventure, or should we say misadventure. The Lily has sent him to the town of Brownstead, which has been having problems with goblins, and rather than the traditional supplies the goblins take-food, jewelry, clothes-this time they've taken villagers, and no one knows what their fate may be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClef and his team now must prepare to go forth into battle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClef armed with his lute and an ample amount of snide remarks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBonneville with her glaive and motherly habits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoscoe with his battle axe and divine intervention. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinnon with his explosive magic and nightly snoring. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Kriv with... well... uh... sorry, I've got nothing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Clef believes this should be a routine mission, it turns out his assumptions were wrong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Clef begins to have dreams that remind him of his bitter past-and lost love-he has to do everything he can to keep his focus on the mission ahead of him, rather than the cruel past he endeavored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e C.
