The Unwelcome Guest (Tales of Tessagonia, Book 9)

Format: Ebook (digital download)

They say you should never turn away someone in need—but they forgot to mention what happens when a visitor refuses to leave.

When a wandering bard seeks shelter at the Thessarin estate, Tavia welcomes him with open curiosity—and her brother Dorian with weary caution. But as the days stretch into weeks, strange things take root: silverware sprouts from the garden, music lingers after the last note fades, and something ancient stirs in the shadows.

Halen Cade spins tales that blur the line between truth and enchantment, and Tavia begins to see the threads of her own life woven through his stories. Yet every song has its secret, every guest has his price, and the charming bard may be far more than he appears.

A whimsical romantic fantasy of hidden identities, unruly magic, and the perilous power of being truly seen — a standalone tale set in the world of Tessagonia.

“This might very well be my favorite Tessagonia tale yet… It has the welcome familiarity of fairy-tale concepts and tropes while providing an entirely new tale.” — Elizabeth Wilcox

Crosses paths with: The Blazing Princess (an earlier tale featuring the princess whose choices shape the Thessarin family a generation later) · The Gloaming Realm (an earlier tale exploring the strange realm and ancient powers behind Halen’s secrets)
