About this title

Review:

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 Tribune""
