Dark Horse Books presents the varied adventures of the Famed Bard of the Midlands!
Dark Horse Books presents Rainier’s Legacy, a new fantasy prose short story collection by Chad Corrie (The Wizard King Trilogy, The Shadow Regent) with cover art by Dan Burgess. Rainier’s Legacy includes seven short stories set in Tralodren, a mystical world featured in Corrie’s Wizard King Trilogy. These new stories expand on the realm first explored in The Wizard King and serve as a perfect jumping point for both readers new to Corrie’s works and those already familiar with Tralodren.
Join Corwyn Danther, “Famed Bard of the Midlands,” as he faces off with halfling highwaymen, long-forgotten horrors, mystical encounters, conniving con men, and an old flame with some questionable machinations, along with a few other surprises in this short story collection.
With a mixture of humor, adventure, insight, and wonder, get ready to explore Tralodren in a whole new light. No epic struggles. No grand, glorious schemes. Just a pragmatically pacifistic bard and some of his varied adventures.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to Tralodren as there are so many more tales to tell, and the stories in this particular collection were such a joy to explore,” said Corrie. “I’m eager for other readers and fans to get a chance to explore them as well, discovering new insights and faces along the way.”
Rainier’s Legacy (304 pages) arrives in bookstores on September 24, 2024 and in comic shops on September 25, 2024. It is now available to preorder at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $19.99.
