Hero's Song takes the reader on an epic journey through dark-aged Eirren, a parallel to Ireland. Collun is a young man and simple gardener living at peace with his family in their small humble home, but when his beloved sister disappears, Collun must go in search of her. Along the road he finds himself in the company of an aspiring bard,Talisen, a wizard, Crann who dies, a prince of magical beings, Silian an Ellyl which is kind of an elf, and a fiery archer with a mission of her own,Brie whose father was ordered to be killed by Collun's father and dresses up like a boy. The journey is perilous and filled with dangerous encounters. Collun learns the worst is yet to come when he finds the only way to reach his sister is by killing a horrific beast,that is called a Firewurme, which few have seen and lived to tell the tale,because it secrets a fluid that eats your flesh. And Collun travels to his father's home, who he didn't know, with Brie and builds a garden there.
