Synopsis

Based on Norse mythology, the third installment of the Renshai saga concludes the tale of three brothers caught in a dangerous magical confrontation, against which humans and elves must band together to preserve their worlds.

After a cataclysmic magical confrontation that shakes the very roots of Midgard, elves and humans alike struggle to put the pieces of their lives back together. But with many among them cast out of their own world and stranded in the Outworlds, the chances of rescuing all those "lost" souls seems very slim.

While elves can find those of their own race, they cannot track humans in the same way. Perhaps, if the powers of the elves, the human mages of Myrcidë, and the one surviving Kjempemagiska, the sorcerer Kentt, can be combined, they can bring back most of those lost in chaos.

Saviar, Subikahn, and Calistin, the three Renshai brothers, must all face their own personal demons, as they attempt to find their destinies in this radically changed world. Even the royal family of Béarn will find everything they value placed at risk.

Only if the brothers, their friends, family, allies, and former enemies can find a way to work together will they have any hope of healing Midgard and carving out the path to a better future for all.

About this title

Review

Praise for the Renshai saga:

"Slashing swordplay, a telepathic cat, spirit-sucking spiders, dizzying genealogical complications, and three warrior brothers all lend depth and sparkle to Reichert's latest installment of her immense Renshai Chronicles saga.... Reichert's handsomely fleshed-out world and animated characters make her latest book an entertaining and philosophical journey with glimmers of sorcery from mages and elves that foreshadow further Renshai adventures." --Publishers Weekly (starred)

"The Last of the Renshai is rich in incident, action, and folkloric expertise.... Above-average worldbuilding." --Chicago Sun-Times

"Very strong.... There are wonderful elements that make this novel special.... It's an excellent read." --Locus

"[Reichert] draws her characters realistically and uses the wizards believably. She has created a very real world.... Readers who love sword-and-war-type fantasy will keep turning the pages, spellbound." --VOYA

"A master's touch for provoking curiosity from the reader and drawing dynamic characters." --Rave Reviews (now Romantic Times)

"The Renshai Chronicles had an interesting basis in Nordic myth and legend, and the Renshai were exciting warriors out of legend." --Grasping for the Wind
