The Sentinel's Burden: The Bard's Tale
The Song that Bridges the Void
Six months have passed since the light went out of the world at the Wellspring. Christopher, a bard who trades in songs and half-truths, has spent that time trying to outrun the memory of the silver starlight and the man who was left to guard the void.
But the silence is broken by a hawk carrying a message from the Northern Watchtower-a demand from Thaerin, the Sentinel of the Reach. Thaerin, a man who has held the world together for three hundred years, is now drowning in the wreckage of his own grief. He requires an impossible task: an exact replica of a pendant lost to the shadows.
For Christopher, this is more than a commission. It is a dangerous, solitary trek through an ancient forest that does not welcome travelers, armed with nothing but his lute and a melody meant to bridge the gap between sorrow and peace.
With the weight of the silver pendant pressing against his ribs like a second heart, the bard must reach the hidden heart of the sanctuary. There, he will discover whether his music is enough to save a man who has lost his reason for existence, or if he is simply walking toward his own final act.
A story of sacrifice, impossible craft, and a long-awaited homecoming.
