Strings of Chance by Jeff Pryor
Published May 2019.
Written by Jeff Pryor.
"Life is a song, sing it well!" is probably my favourite tagline. This tale of fantasy and mystery follows Edson Pye on his (mis)adventures to win the Bard's Challenge. After an encounter with a mage, Edson finds himself the center of attention for his music...and murder.
​I worked on a manuscript assessment and follow-up copy edit on this novel. I immediately loved the idea of a bard as a protagonist—especially given that Edson's character is so well-written (even if I didn't like him immediately). It's a lighter fantasy with a whole heap of intrigue. Jeff Pryor did a solid job creating a believable world and even wrote several songs to immerse readers even further into this bard's story (also a new editing experience for me).
