Returning to the Norse-inspired realm of Baern eighteen years after Children of Wrath, this first book in the thrilling Renshai saga introduces three warriors brothers....
Continuing the saga begun in the Renshai trilogy and the Renshai Chronicles, this story follows three sons of Kevral Tainharsdatter: Saviar Ra-khirsson, Subikahn Taesson, and Calistin Ra-khirrsson.
Bearn and her allies, including the Renshai, are faced with pirates, the vanguard of an army sent from a continent across the sea. Prejudice against the Renshai is growing rapidly, fueled by their ancient enemies in the Northlands. After a questionable battle, King Griff of Bearn is reluctantly forced to banish the Renshai from the Westlands.
Shunned by Westerners and hunted by Northmen, the Renshai will face many trials, while Saviar, Subikahn, and Calistin must each take his own stand in a world where there are no longer any safe havens for their people. Yet not only the Renshai are in dire straits: without their aid, Bearn may well fall to the “pirate” army fast approaching its shores....

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
