All Vahn has ever known was the Floating World where magic is pliant and easy to control for magicians like him. To prove his worth, he's been sent to the World Below where the chaotic Wild Magic roams completely free to learn as much as he can. If he can prove a mastery over Wild Magic, he could one day become a High Magician. 

All Hawke has ever known was being on his own and traveling the world in any way he saw fit. The only constant in his life is his lute and his honeyed voice which gets him out of (and sometimes into) trouble. When not strumming songs for coin, he follows where the wind beckons him and never stays in one place for long.

When the two accidentally help each other escape turmoil, the only choice is to travel together to keep themselves out of further trouble. With a naive magician oblivious to the world and an exasperated bard who likes to stay on the move, how much more trouble can they find? Probably a lot.

The Magician & The Bard is a queer fantasy web serial following the hi-jinks of the magician, Vahn, and the bard, Hawke as they adventure together. It's meant to be fun and reminiscent of fantasy shows I grew up with as a kid. Stories are separated into arcs and when all the arcs for this book are finished, I will uploaded a compiled EPUB with them all inside a single file.

As a whole, The Magician & The Bard features:

  • Slow burn (and I do mean slow burn) M/M relationship
  • An aromantic magician & a bisexual bard
  • The enchanted voice of a bard of dubious renown
  • The powerful magic of a wandering magician
  • Magic duels
  • Floating islands
  • Fun fantasy hi-jinks

The first arc, The Illusionist's Spell, will be free and the others will be accessible after payment. I will be uploading them when I finish another pass of edits (for those that were serialized in 2023). If you previously purchased and I upload a new arc, you must go into your Library to access the new files. In the future, I will endeavor to find a new way to release arcs once this volume is done. 

If you cannot access your Library/didn't have an itch.io account upon purchase, please e-mail me at earlronove@gmail.com with proof of purchase (receipt or what have you) and I will send you the arcs you were not able to download.

If there is anything amiss with any file (from formatting errors to even typos), please let me know and I will do my best to rectify them.
