Publisher's summary

Death! Downfall! Despair! Darkness!

So much darkness. At least it made hiding easier. Daniel and his group of close friends barely made it away from the mob and their underhanded allies among the Cabal. Now, they were hunted prey, forced to ditch their beloved floating castle in order to find a place to hide.

But where could you possibly hide when the Dawnlight Forest would soon be teeming with people looking for you? That’s right. Underground. Quite literally.

The beleaguered group of adventurers would soon find out about the underworld of Neyrus. What could you possibly find down there? Monsters? Treasure? Salvation?

Aziz light!

I love this series. I like the characters, the world and the amazing narration. Give this one a try.

You need this series!

Ohhhh yeah, I loved this book. I love Archangelo and his Beast chameleon Atlas bonded to each other by music. I seriously liked Delving Bard better than the last book I read in the series.
As the title and blurb suggest the book's about a dungeon dive. But Lars Machműller took me on the most unique dive I've evarrr been on. Yeah, there's still a dungeon and I guess you might say it has levels, and maybe even a dungeon boss at the end... but, you'll see what I mean when you read the book. And through it all, Soundbooth Theater weaves music and magic together thus increasing your need to get this audio series and book!

Delving bard indeed!

I love the way this story and world are developing and hope to see many more from the World of Chains, as well as from this particular bard.

Soundbooth Theatre continues to amaze with the sound of violins as well as amazing voice actors.

Delving with the Magic of SBT

I picked up all 5 of the books at one time so it was really awesome to see the quality of the SBT Team mature through the process as well. This was by far the best of the series so far and an awesome listen.

The story continues to unfold! And the plot thickens. The world is maturing very well and with the mix of real world effecting the in game I can’t wait to see how it all comes to a head.

I gave the story 4 instead of 5 because there are a few inconsistencies or lack of depth. Overall a great read but its not going to be an epic for the ages that I would give 5 stars to.

Perfect narration

I'm on the fence with this series to be honest, the music is wonderful, the narration is perfect, and the story isn't bad, But it completely lacks any adult humor or humor in general. They're some playful scenes, but I do like a little more spice I guess. I'll still continue the series, but mainly because I don't have better options at the moment.

Amazing job you guys!

once again I am blown away by what this team can accomplish. Justin just hits all the right notes when it comes to the enthusiasm he displays as Archie. The story itself is so well constructed that when the characters take a break you do as well. I barley put this one down once it started. lastly, the flow of the story is n3ver broken by the music or singing parts of the narrative. BRAVO 👏

I love this book

Everything about this series let alone this book is phenomenal from the music to the narration to the story to the development. It’s perfect.

More Please!

I super love this one! The writing, narration, and production were just simply excellent! The story was very well-written, exciting, clever, and fun. I was hooked from start to finish.

I am so ready for the next one.

Another great entry in the Bard series!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As the title said, it was an excellent addition to the series.

I'm looking forward to the final installment!

5 out of 6!?

woo man, do I love this series. The last fight had me on the edge of my seat.

I enjoy the characters and story the lore of the world all wrapped up with such great voice narration by the sound booths theater team and Michelle's violin work? just wow.
