In a time of upheaval, where magick and religion often collide, those who keep the old ways are increasingly shunned and ridiculed. The Vagabond Bards, a dedicated group of musicians, singers, actors, poets, and teachers of the unwritten oral folklore of the Terran Worlds, are finding themselves coming under pressure to disband or face probable imprisonment-even death. For generations these roving men and women have spread throughout the population, dedicating their lives to educating and assisting their fellow Humans while recording and preserving their knowledge and experiences, making sure the tales of the past are kept alive throughout the mostly illiterate masses. Sworn to Understand, Love, and Keep the Truth, they now face strong opposition from the upstart religion of Helios the Sun God, whose belief is sweeping the countryside, rewriting history and changing views of the past in the most alarming manner. These are the tales of those heroic troubadours, who fight for justice not with weapons, but with words. The latest from Fantasy Author Nancy Hansen and the first volume in the Hansen's Way Imprint from Pro Se Productions! Enjoy The Tales of the Vagabond Bards!

It is a time of great upheaval in the middle lands of Terra North. Human refugees from realms that have been overtaken by force make their way along the old forest roads; moving resolutely onward to whatever future lies ahead. Elves watch warily from the cover of trees and brush as this influx of additional settlers pass through their gradually shrinking demesne. Some trail the rumbling wagons as they make their way along toward a welcoming kingdom known as Sudarnia. One small party in particular has caught the Forest Born's attention, for amongst the three youngest members of these Human emigrants, is a boy with some particularly disturbing abilities... When death comes hurtling down from the heavens, the children of that settler group are orphaned. Rescued by Elves, they are held in custody until a trusted ally comes to collect them. Each finds an uneasy niche of sorts within Sudarnian society; but what will ultimately become of these three foundlings, and what part will their contributions play, in a land now facing a far more potent menace than it has seen in decades? All the answers lay within the hearts, minds, and spirits of a trio of children whose intertwined destinies were Forged by Flame! By Nancy Hansen and from Pro Se Productions
