Legend of the Bard
An Adult Science-Fantasy by Alethea Lyons

Pitch
British Folk Music x
Cyberpunk x Lost:Changeling
A human bard & an elf hacker try to use music to release a trapped muse, rescue a baby, & stop a nuclear war. Their magic might save the world, if their own fragile health doesn't destroy them & their budding relationship, first.

Chapter One
Life wasn’t a song. Even the bloodiest song of vengeance and betrayal had the beauty of its tune. Life was a copper clip dreadful: cheap, gory, and lewd.
Smog grasped at the pocked windows of the swaying citylink transpod. William O’Shaughnessy traced the shadowed outline of downtown Camira on the glass, tight grime-tipped gloves leaving a trail in the condensation. It trickled down, tears of a dying city unmourned by the parasites who sucked her dry and left her husk to rot. It wept in a way Will couldn’t. The hollow ache in his chest had long since drained him of tears.

Opening

York was famous for its ghosts, but Harper had seen too many demons to fear rumours and trickery. Yet, as mist trickled down the cobbled street of the Shambles, curled up the sides of wonky buildings and flowed over her feet, that certainty wavered. The hairs on her bare arms prickled despite the lingering summer warmth. She didn’t believe in ghosts, but she did believe in human evil.
