"Tears of Rage is a fantastical gritty series about faith, dedication, fear, and perseverance. A tale for the times we are in, with realistic characters forced to face their own flaws that are just as dangerous as their enemies. Read it." - Damon Stone, Fantasy Flight Games Blessed at birth by divine powers, Julianna lives as an unknowing centerpiece in the schemes and plots if the gods. On her twenty-first birthday, Julianna frees an ancient god from his thousand-year prison. This god, Grandfather Shadow rewards Julianna by naming her his high priest. He cares nothing that she doesn't believe in him, nor that it is illegal for any of Julianna's people to worship one of the five greater gods - the punishment is not merely death, but also the destruction of the her soul. Pursued by followers of the God of Death and Inquisitors of the Kingdom of the Sun, Julianna must come to terms with her new powers, evade her new enemies, and find a way to unite Grandfather Shadow's fractured people. Combining the grit and epic feel of A Game of Thrones with the swashbuckling adventure of The Three Musketeers, the TEARS OF RAGE sequence is fantasy saga 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 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. Readers who enjoy losing themselves in complex worlds such as Robert Jordan's THE WHEEL OF TIME, 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 FIRST CHOSEN and the TEARS OF RAGE sequence.
