More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Sixth volume in the tremendously popular Renshai series of novels - epic fantasy rooted in the magic and mythology of the Norse sagas
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Tae and his closest friends are charged with breaking the Dark Elves' curse of sterility on the humans of Midguard, with finding the lost shards of the sapphire, the mythical Pica, that might hold the key to the elvish magic. In order to do this he must ensure that Rascal - like him brought up on the streets, still suspicious of all in authority, unpredictable and amoral - plays her part in finding the Pica and does not jeopardise the future of their world. In Valhalla, Colbey Calistinsson, the immortal Renshai, watches and waits. While the humans of Midguard fight their battles, he must ensure that the gods themselves, and Odin in particular, do not shatter the Balance of the Worlds.

Format:Paperback
This is the concluding part to the series and it flowed from the others perfectly. It answers all the left behind questions you have after reading Prince of demons. An excellent blend of adventure, magic and mythology i found it to be a pleasnt read.
Format:Hardcover
Sixth book in a series of the renshai. Well-drawn characters and great storylines, however having not read the previous books and my knowledge of norse mythology being limited to comic book heros of Thor and Odin it was a suprising difficult read. If the previous five books had been read by the reader this is a welcome return of Tae, Griff, Matrinka, Kevral, Ra-khir, Colby Calistinsson and a shed load of babies.

The best of the Renshai Chronicles!!
31 May 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It was a long wait for the conclusion to the unfinished problems posed in Prince of Demons, but it was well worth it. The details were superb, and the characters were as wonderful as ever. You get a glimpse of what they will become, and I think that was the nicest part. This book and all the other Renshai books are very much worth reading.

Excellent
4 May 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I loved this book. It's the first Mickey Zucker Reichert book that I've read, and it's fantastic. I only wish that I could bear the children of this book. I haven't done any work whatsoever since starting this book, and I really feel the need to read all of Reichert's books, only to fill the empty gap I now have. The details of everyting, from the Pica stone to the features of the creatures, all make me marvel at the imagination of the author. If tihs is the worst of her trilogy, then I'm going to be bowled over by the others. Buy this book now. It's amazing.
