It’s good to be the Ivon. Johan is comfortable with the new power he has after his sudden advancement, but it isn’t long until he realizes that being the most powerful man on the Cyfandir doesn’t translate to the larger world. The legendary Dragon Uvrede, who nearly destroyed Ivonal, came from somewhere, and it certainly wasn’t anywhere on this continent. Now he has to know what is out there. He’ll spare no expense to learn. To be sure he gleans everything, Johan starts the Bard Corps and tasks them with collecting the stories of all peoples and indexing them in a Codex Bardic. Can Johan hold on to power long enough to learn the secret of Mirekka? Will the nascent Bard Corps succeed in the biggest story-gathering in memory? Find out in Ivon Nova, as we close the Cyfandric Cycle and prepare for the next volume in the Harkentale Saga.
