Nearly two decades ago, Mickey Zucker Reichert introduced
fantasy readers to her greatest creation - the Renshai, a
race of warriors who lived for battle and swordcraft, and
who began training in the art of war from the moment their
fingers could grasp a weapon. Set in a world enriched by
Norse mythology, Mickey's first two trilogies about the
Renshai - The Last of the Renshai and The Renshai Chronicles
- captivated readers as they followed the adventurers of
these legendary warriors who fought their way back from
almost total extinction to claim a new homeland and find
allies in a world where far too many still feared and
despised them.
Flight of the Renshai continues the Renshai saga begun in
the previous two trilogies. Opening eighteen years after The
Children of Wrath ended, Flight of the Renshai focuses on
the main characters from the second trilogy, as well as
their now-grown children. At the center of the story are the
three sons of Kevral Tainharsdatter: Saviar Ra-khirsson,
Subikahn Taesson, and Calistin Ra-khirsson.
Béarn and its allies, including the Renshai, are faced with
mysterious pirates, the vanguard of an army sent from a
continent across the sea. The "pirates" are becoming bolder,
and have now attacked one of Béarn's flagships, a vessel on
which young Prince Arturo was sailing with his Renshai
guards. With all hands presumed lost, the threat of these
marauders can no longer be ignored.
And even as King Griff grieves over the loss of the prince,
Béarn must devise a strategy against this deadly enemy.
Though Griff's two greatest weapons are the Kinghts of
Erythane and the Renshai warriors with who Béarn is allied,
prejudice against the Renshai is growing rapidly, fueled by
their centuries-old enemies in the Northlands. The Northmen
have convinced a faction in Erythane that the Renshai lands
were stolen from them. As tensions escalate, the future of
the Renshai hinges on a trial by combat. And though it
appears that the Northmen have cheated, there is no way to
prove it. Under the terms agreed to, King Griff is
reluctantly forced to banish the Renshai from the Westlands.
Shunned by the Westerners and hunted by the 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, Béarn
may well fall to the "pirate" army which is fast approaching
its shores...
