The Man, The Myth, The Legend

John Delphi, the Bawdy Bard, famed saviour of Hummelfort, has found his girl, got his Estate in Io’s Breath, hung up his lute… and put on about 30 pounds of aimlessness. His wife, Deidre, long-lost lover and woman of his dreams, cannot stand to be married to the bloated husk he has become. So, before the bard knows it, he is back on the road, divorce papers in hand, in search of adventure.

A chance meeting at a gingerbread bordello gives the bard a new destination: the Duchy of Cockinghamshire. Far to the east, near the border with the Kingdom of Deferensia, unrest builds. A false Duke sits in the palace as his brother languishes in a foreign prison, a rebellious noble leads an uprising against him, a shoemaker dreams of breaking free of his own life of comfort, a battle nun hunts a forest witch. The bard himself has a date with destiny, a conjured spirit from time long past, a spectre with a story about a magical artifact of untold power:

The Silver Codpiece.

As the ranks of the bard’s troupe of misfits swell, so too do their problems (and the bard’s tumescence). But Delphi’s magic will only go so far. Will the new band come together in time to seize both fate and the high-quality male fashion accessory?

This one’s in the key of D Major.

Legend Of The Silver Codpiece: The Cockatrice Enigma is the second book in the Bawdy Bard comedic fantasy series. If you like dirty humour, potent magic, and strong flatulence, you’ll love Andrew Marc Rowe’s obscenely fascinating adventure.
