Readers of Fantasy Books Enthusiastic About The Rys Chronicles

Grueling duels, palace intrigue and vicious tyranny drive the exciting and thoughtful epic fantasy series The Rys Chronicles that has just expanded to its third book with the trade paperback publication of Judgment Rising.

Chico, CA (PRWEB) May 2, 2007 -- After what the Midwest Book Review called "A stunning debut in epic fantasy", author Tracy Falbe released on May 1st the third book in "The Rys Chronicles" epic fantasy series entitled "Judgment Rising: The Rys Chronicles Book III." Published in trade paperback and ebook formats by the fantasy imprint Brave Luck Books ™, "Judgment Rising" continues the compelling story that is steadily gaining the attention of fantasy readers.

Feedback from readers has been enthusiastic. "People I don't know email me to say that they 'loved my book' or that I'm a 'great fiction writer.' Such comments are so touching," Falbe said.

In "The Rys Chronicles" an epic unfolds in which two civilizations are swept into the struggle against the vicious tyrant Queen of the Rys, whose colossal power has oppressed the western tribal kingdoms of Gyhwen for over two thousand years. The Rys Queen has also guarded her domain from the eastern world of Ektren with an army of ghost slaves. A rich and varied cast of humans and magical rys drive the story as kings and warriors vie for power, and spies play all sides. From rampaging armies to the great personal turmoil of major characters, "The Rys Chronicles" applies fresh attitudes to well-loved fantasy themes.

Major themes that Falbe explores with her characters are the corrupting influence of power, hard choices that have to be made in a crisis, and the bravery needed to break free of the confines of an established order. Falbe believes that the fantasy genre is the best suited and most entertaining platform for examining the social, political and religious forces that act upon all civilizations.

Falbe, who lives in Chico, California, began developing her fantasy series in 1997. Over a period of six years she wrote four fantasy novels. The fourth and final installment, "The Borderlands of Power", is scheduled for trade paperback publication on August 1st. Her inspirations come from history, mythology, and current events. The fantasy novels of her series, however, adhere to the fantasy theme of an Earth-like setting with magic and Medieval-level technology.

Since January 2006, she has been selling her fantasy books from her Brave Luck Books™ website http://www.braveluck.com and at Amazon. "The Rys Chronicles" is available in trade paperback and multiple ebook formats.

Falbe promotes her series by giving away the first book in the fantasy series as a free fantasy ebook -- a method that many authors are finding to be effective for reaching readers.

As a fantasy reader herself, Falbe knows that people approach her series with high expectations and she has worked hard to deliver the action-oriented yet thoughtful narrative that her audience demands. Consider this quote from the first novel: "Dreibrand sensed in his heart with intuitive certainty that something extraordinary lay beyond the bounds of the Atrophane Empire." Falbe invites readers of fantasy books to find out what it is. http://www.braveluck.com
