Publisher's Summary

Every player in Barliona has heard of the Gray Lands - the land of the dead. Few have managed to travel there and speak with the heroes and villains of old. And of this minuscule number, only one bard has managed to bring the souls of the dead back to the world of the living: the Bard of Shadow. Now, it is up to her to determine the future of her race.

Shall the Biota race become full-fledged members of Barliona, or will they oppose all that lives?

A great continuation of the Series

As Always Andrea Emmes did great on this one.

The authors filled this one full of references to other works but in a relatable way. in fact, it was overwhelmingly dense at times. They referenced everything from the Roman legion (proper historical references too) to fantasy works and Starwars. it really does sound like some of the talk I've heard from the local Ye'old Shoppe for magical (mostly just expensive) gaming memorabilia.

that said the story was more or less standard fare in continuation of the first book.

I do like the descriptions of the songs and how the MC starts using actual bard abilities more.
