With the second book of their Rystarr Saga, The Javelin of Ragnar, authors J.R. Thorpe and J.R. Thorpe are poised to explore their world to greater details, and to raise the stakes even higher than in the debut.  Having already cast a wonderful ensemble of refreshing characters, and establishing the ground rules of the world, the authors are free to peel back the layers of the story, inching readers ever closer to The Bursting, one of the great events that is due to occur in Rystarr.  There is magic abound here in the sophomore tale, as everything is carefully blended to great effect.  Nothing feels heavy-handed or undercooked.  Having two overseers of this growing saga ensures that the best of fantasy is present here, a captivating story wrapped within in an immersive tale which grips hold of readers and doesn’t let go.

The fate of Rystarr hangs in the balance as The Bursting draws nearer. Joined by unlikely allies, the heroes travel east, towards the Ellarian Sea in an effort to retrieve the second weapon, located on the mysterious Moving Island of Aradeen.

Skies turn red and the seas rage as quakes rumble across the land, leaving large apertures in their wake. Knowing the demigods grow in power daily, Arrôz attempts to stay one step ahead of them, all the while gathering more allies.

While one begins to remember pieces that have been locked away for centuries, a life changing secret is revealed to another, dating as far back to the weapons’ creation. As they suffer through hostility, bitterness, and heartbreak, can the immortals put it all aside and continue their quest, united?

Sibling authors J.R. and J.R. Thorpe love their fantasy, and it’s clear as anything to see in their first book, The Arbalest of Gamaliel: The Rystarr Saga The Weapons of Power Book One.  Rystarr is an intriguing world, filled with a breadth of lore and mythology that could take the writers Thorpe well beyond their planned three book series.  As much as depth as the world has, the authors have also ensured that their characters receive their due, with each of them fully realized and dynamic.  And the rest of the story blends so well together with prophecies, strange magic and growing tension.

In the hollow world of Rystarr, a new millennia draws near as The Bursting soon approaches. The weapons of power have been kept hidden, their locations unknown. Together, and only together, the three weapons are the only implements powerful enough to stop the cataclysmic event from occurring yet again.

Brought together by their Godly lineage, ten unlikely heroes are thrusted into a multi-millennia long family skirmish. United, they embark on a grand quest in search of the weapons of power, facing many challenges brought forth from their enemy, Arrôz, The God of Evil.

Will the heroes locate all three of the weapons before disaster strikes Rystarr, leaving it and the surrounding planes in ruins once more? The world has ten powerful demigods on its side, providing they can learn to work together, setting aside personal ambitions and animosity. Will they succeed? The whole of the multiverse waits to see.

If you like your epic fantasies to have scheming deities, empowered demigods, deep and rich mythology and a storyline that wraps everything up with a nice bow, you’ll love the world that the Thorpe siblings craft here.  Rystarr has amazing potential, and it’s the kind of place that you’ll love to spend time in.  With two other books on the way, this series is bound to soar to even greater heights, but it all starts here.  Check out The Arbalest of Gamaliel: The Rystarr Saga The Weapons of Power Book One on Amazon today!
