Redemption: A Vagabond Bards Novel

Siska of Voruta, the Archon, or leader of the Vagabond Bards, has traveled to the burgeoning mining town of Holtsville at the behest of a childhood friend. Brother Orson and his fellow monks of the St. Atreus Monastery have borne witness to a series of brutal murders and mutilations over the intervening months, and now need her help and advice to sort things out. What initially appears to be the work of a cult or a serial killer leads them into a web of diabolical intrigue wrapped in a conspiracy to wrest power from the local authority and turn the poor people of Holtsville into thralls for profit.

Unfortunately Holtsville's Lord Baron seems to be right in the midst of this cabal of greed, and something sinister in his past makes Siska and Orson suspicious that he might just be the mastermind behind these depraved killings.

Can these two old friends band together and discover what is going on in the area, or will the disparate powers of church and state tear them apart forevermore? Just who will ultimately find redemption, and how?
