Das Spiel des Barden

The new high-fantasy masterpiece by Kevin Hearne, the author of The Iron Druid Chronicles, transports readers to a world filled with wild magic, epic battles, and true heroes.

Six Kennings are known throughout the realms of the continent Teldwen: magical abilities that grant power over the elements – at a high cost: lifespan. The tales of the bard Fintan soon lead to a rumor of a seventh Kenning, said to surpass all others. In search of it, a gigantic army of pale bone giants invades the northern realms of Teldwen. The bard and his allies find themselves caught in the all-consuming whirlpool of a war that threatens to destroy their world – unless they can uncover the last secrets of the Kennings.

New York Times bestselling author Kevin Hearne captivates with a new fantasy epic about the power of storytelling, dark magic, and devastating battles.
