Book 2 of The Sagathas Bard
A deadly curse will shape a young king’s future.
​
The gods have given Traedis Atenel the kingship of Tolin. Already she has stopped the export of assassins and altered her country’s destructive course. Still, not everyone agrees with the changes she has made. Her uncle and brother are leading a rebellion, and they will not hold back simply because Traedis is family. And the curse that binds her pulls tighter with each move she makes.
With a lethal deadline looming over her, Traedis needs to find her uncle before it’s too late. But a new danger has emerged, and now she must learn the secrets of bardic runes before they topple her rule.

Goodreads Review:​
"Magic abounds in the world of Runedance. Magicians, magical creatures, and gods run wild over this world. King Traedis, the protagonist, meets these beings regularly, if not daily.
Readers hankering for the highest of high fantasy with a cast of intelligent, independent female characters will find much to enjoy in Runedance."

Goodreads Review:
​
"[Traedis'] struggles as someone who’s really good at heart, and really committed to her ideals, but who is also chained by a lot of trauma and insecurity, as she struggles to be king of the city the gods gave her are refreshing."
