The Children of Wrath

by Mickey Zucker Reichert

Overview

The Pica Stone, which could prove the salvation of the elves has been shattered, most of its shards scattered on plains other than where mankind dwells. And it is up to Kevral, Darris, Ra-khir, Tae, and their fellow adventurers to journey to these different realms in hopes of recovering the shards. Yet even as they undertake their quest, Colbey and Odin have begun a final struggle, a new war of the gods which will determine the fate of the mortal world.

Praise for Beyond Ragnarok: Volume One Of The Renshai Chronicles:

"Readers looking for a good rousing tale of high fantasy can skip over Terry Brooks and David Eddings and sink their imaginations into Mickey Zucker Reichert's Beyond Ragnarok." --The South Bend Tribune

"Reichert has taken Norse mythology and expanded upon it without losing the feet of the original in order to create a fantastic world which she has peopled with characters that are larger than life but believable, a major achievement in itself. It's certainly her most ambitious and satisfying work to date." --Science Fiction Chronicle

"Her writing is altogether magnificent. The tangled interrelationships, including a tangled romance, are as fascinating as he enthusiastic descriptions of bloody, bloody battles. Her mastery of military matters is quite incredible. This first volume of The Renshai Chronicles is a must." --KLIATT

"...just perfect for fantasy quest fans to lose themselves in...a delightful fantasy, featuring sympathetic characters, magical battles galore, edge-of-seat suspense, and truly impressive world-building." --VOYA

Editorial Reviews

Concluding volume of the trilogy (Prince of Demons and Beyond Ragnarok, not reviewed) whose backdrop is a dubious concoction of Norse gods, Celtic myth, and family saga, embroidered with standard fantasy designs. Here, the elves must save the world by re-creating the shattered gem known as the Pica Stone. Unfortunately, eight shards are scattered on eight different planes of existence, so a quest must be organized to retrieve them. Among the familiar characters chosen for the quest will be: warrior Kerval and her husband, the knight Ra-khir; Kerval's other significant other, the prince and former thief Tae, along with light elves, warriors, and a street urchin who immediately gets lost. Even if the quest succeeds, there'll be a battle among the gods of Asgard, as Odin squares up to Colbey (don't ask, okay?). Full-body immersion for fans of the trilogy, who clearly prefer their narratives sluggish, talky, and prone to dwell on the insignificant.
