The World of Lyrin
The world of Lyrin is full of lush forests, stormy seas, and brilliant towns. The Dusksingers are a race of nomadic people cursed to roam and perform at the towns throughout the land. They live in colorful horse-drawn wagons and are bards and dancers. All is not what it seems with this world and a dark change is on the wind.

Ruyne, leader of the Dusksinger bards, travels with his band from town to town, thrilling crowds with inspiring music born from ancient magic. He leads a charmed life with his brother, and two life-long best friends. Disaster strikes when Ruyne ignores a cryptic message from a loved one. The band's idyllic peace is shattered by a monster from the past, and the horrifying truth behind their magic is revealed, leaving their lives in tatters and the hearts of the four men forever scarred. Scattered and broken, can they harmonize their Song in time to prevent a tragedy of apocalyptic proportions?
