The characters seem real, three dimensional people, not typical fantasy types." - James Rollins, Author of THE DEVIL COLONY and MAP OF BONES."First Chosen isn't just a book - it is a window into another world." - Merelan Jones of Renaissance Productions."The pacing kept me engaged, and I have to admit, kept me up past my bedtime on more than one occasion. I can't wait to read the sequel." - Shay Fabbro from, "Writing on the Rocks"In her moment of greatest need, Julianna frees an ancient god, Grandfather Shadow, from his thousand-year prison. In his "gratitude," the god names Julianna his high priest and commands her to lead his people to greatness once again. Unfortunately, it is a crime for any of Julianna's people to worship one of the five ancient gods, punishable not only by death, but the destruction of her very soul.While evading Inquisitors of All Father Sun and the followers of the god of death, Julianna must learn to use the vast power that Grandfather Shadow has given her in order to survive long enough to unite Grandfather Shadow's fractured people.And so begins, TEARS OF RAGE a dark, epic fantasy about the power of faith and belief, where even though the gods can inspire these qualities in mortals, it is those same mortals that truly control the religions that form from any god's divine inspiration. It is also a swashbuckling tale of political intrigue where men scheme against each other and the gods, and how friendship, loyalty, and faith can help people persevere through the darkest times. Fans of George RR Martin's A GAME OF THRONES and Steven Erikson's THE MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN will find themselves right at home with the TEARS OF RAGE sequence.
