The Children of Wrath

Description

Book three of the acclaimed, bestselling epic fantasy Renshai Chronicles—discover the intricate Renshai universe, infused with Norse mythology, tangled intrigue, and cataclysmic magical battles. 
 
The mortal kingdoms are caught up in a shared catastrophe, cursed with sterility by the magic of the dark elves. Still, what elves have caused they may perhaps put right.
 
Humanity’s last hope hinges on a magical talisman—the Pica Stone. One of only nine solid objects ever created by magic, the Pica Stone was shattered in the days of the last Wizards. But when Captain, oldest of the elves, joins with his fellow light elves to work a spell to draw together all the scattered pieces of this legendary gem, eight shards remain missing, lost on worlds throughout the planes of existence.
 
The elves spell-shift a party of questers to each of these worlds to find the shards. Among the chosen are the Renshai warrior Kevral, her husband Ra-khir the knight, and Tae, a newly made prince and former thief. Each world offers unique challenges, but with the extinction of the human race as the price of failure, there can be no turning back….Praise for the Renshai Chronicles:
 
“Delightful fantasy, featuring sympathetic characters, magical battles galore, edge-of-seat suspense, and truly impressive worldbuilding. Complex, intricate, by turns challenging and rewarding, this is ultimately quite a satisfying fantasy reading experience.” —VOYA
 
“Reichert has the uncanny ability to sustain unremitting horror and suspense—for over 700 pages, mind…. Altogether magnificent. The tangled interrelationships, including a tangled romance, are as fascinating as her enthusiastic descriptions of bloody, bloody battles. Her mastery of military matters is quite incredible.” —Kliatt
 
“[Reichert’s] most ambitious and satisfying work to date.” —SF Chronicle
 
“Handled with literary skill and folkloric scholarship that further raises the level of suspense.” —Booklist
 
“[Reichert’s] best book to date and one of the best fantasy reads of the year…. Excellent high fantasy.” —South Bend TribuneMickey Zucker Reichert is a pediatrician, parent, animal lover, and author of twenty-some novels including Renshai, Nightfall, Barakhai, and Bifrost series, one illustrated novella, and fifty-plus short stories.
