Mercedes Ladcey has, in a few short years, soared to the peak of the fantasy field, and her thousands of enthusiastic readers clamor for more and more. Now comes a volume demonstrating the wide range of her talent, running the gamut from her beloved Bardic fantasies to urban fantasy set in the modern world; from science fiction adventure to chilling horror.
Publisher's Note: Bedlam's
Bard (a selection of The Science Fiction Book Club) was published in parts
as Knight of Ghosts and Shadows and Summoned to
Tourney. |
Publisher's Note: The Free Bards was previously published in parts as The Lark and the Wren, The Robin And the Kestrel and The Eagle and the Nightingale. Now we offer all three in a single trade edition which will probably never be offered in a mass market edition because it's just too darn big! |
In San Francisco in the 1800s, a young woman is forced to work as a
companion to a mysterious wealthy man whose face is always hidden. She soon finds herself
drawn into a dark and sinister world of fire and magery.
In "Lammas Night" a young weaver of spells is persuaded to bide a while in a small village, to make their village spells and to keep the Dark at bay. As part of their persuasion, the villagers have given her the house of her predecessor. Not knowing that his spirit lingers there, she un wittingly breaks the spell that laid him. Now, a half-seen phantom courts her. He is either her lover for all time,the only she will ever know--or a wicked spirits' seeming, the aim of which is to entrap her in a fate unspeakable.
Rune: she could be the greatest bard her world will ever know--but only if she can overcome the barriers placed against the child of a mere tavern wench--and a woman.
A gypsy and an ex-prince solve the mystery of a man-eating ghost and overturn a repressive tyrant with their music.
The gypsy Nightingale must find out why the High King of the human kingdoms is abdicating his responsibilities and thereby save the gypsies, Free Bards and non-humans of all the twenty kingdoms.
In Alanda, representatives of the Church seek to ferret out unauthorized magic and music. The Free Bards must choose: to flee--or to fight. Set in the same world as Bardic Voices.
