Fantasy Author Ron Glick is known for nothing if not his diversity. With two epic fantasy and one high fantasy series to his credit, not to mention being the author of the longest running comic book trivia series in print and the editor of a Golden Age Comic Book Restoration Project, the greatest wonder so far is where the mind of this author will take his loyal readers next. This July, that question is answered - Ron returns to the world of Na'Ril for the second installment in his Chaos Rising series.

In "Tarinel's Song," Ron introduced his readers to events occurring in another region of the world of Na'Ril, where his epic Godslayer Cycle is set - and to the idea that the consequences of a centuries-old prophecy could prove just as devastating as the battle between the Old Gods and New Order. With a new pantheon of Gods involved in their own internal conflicts, once more mortals needed to step forward to do what even deities were unable to do.

In "Immortal's Discord," Ron continues to push the boundaries of fantasy with his epic tales of the role Gods play in fantasy fiction. With the true origin of the Hand revealed, the rise of a God, and the fall of a tyrant, the prophecy that has come to be known as Tarinel's Song is not yet finished wrecking havoc upon the residents of the Eastern Realms of Na'Ril. But when the end of the prophecy is finally revealed, who will be left standing?

The threat raised by Tarinel's Song has passed, but the prophecy is still unfinished. Once more, the unlikely heroes of the Eastern Realms are pulled into the path of destiny woven by this centuries' old divination. With only two verses of eight fulfilled, great portent is now given to the ancient predictions, yet still none understand when and where the elements of the prophecy will come to pass. A new dawn is coming to the Eastern Realms - a new God is destined to rise and a great tyrant is foretold to be defeated. But much must fall in the path of the prophecy, as well - including an extra-dimensional stronghold and even magic itself.

Will the heroes of "Tarinel's Song" be able to reunite in time to save their world, or will the prophecy's demands be too great for mere mortals to withstand?

"Highly recommended to those who love a great fantasy story, filled with wonderful imagination." - Julie Elizabeth Powell, on "Tarinel's Song"

"[T]he author is a true storyteller. I have to admire the world he created and the way he meshed several stories and plot lines together." - Crystal of Orchard Book Club, on "Tarinel's Song"
