Returning to the Norse-inspired realm of Baern, the second book in the thrilling Renshai saga continues the tale of three warriors brothers....
With the Great War over, the Renshai have won back the Fields of Wrath. As the survivors limp homeward, Tae Kahn—Subikahn’s father—fears that a far larger and fiercer wave of enemy soldiers is headed toward them.
One Kjempemagiska and an army of their man-sized servants nearly defeated the entire Continent. This time, Tae is certain the ranks will include hundreds of these strong, magical, island-dwelling giants. The only hope for the peoples of the Continent is to regather their war-weary troops and convince the few magical beings of their own world to assist them.
It becomes a race against time as Tae, his friends, and his family struggle to convince the Continental generals of the danger; attempt to turn reluctant, antagonistic mages and elves into allies; spy on the giant Kjempemagiska sorcerors; and seek some means to defeat an enemy powerful beyond contemplation.

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
