Bard's Tale Novels


Shortly after the release of the Bard's Tale trilogy, a few writers collaborated and created a spin-off set of novels inspired by the games. Released over the course of 6 years from 1992 through 1998, the Bard's Tale novels are still available in various places, but Amazon may be the easiest place to locate copies.
