Battle Bard

Co-written with Cooper Wai

They laughed when he brought a drum to a cultivation fight. They weren't laughing long.

Max Stone dies on Earth, becomes a poker chip in a game between gods, and wakes up in the frail body of a teenage boy on Eedan, a world of chi cultivation, magic and monsters. He starts weaker than the lowest cultivator, with arrogant nobles already gunning for him. All he has are his Earth-born wits, a unique blessing and a drummer's sense of rhythm.

For readers who love a reincarnated hero, chi and elemental affinities, status screens and meddling gods. Book 1 rated 4.5 stars across 450+ Amazon ratings.
