by Tracy Falbe
~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Onja can control what others see.

The day will come when everyone sees things her way.

Enjoy this unique epic of complex heroes and villains that engulfs readers from many angles. Packed with primitive energy, the intertwining stories and rising stakes of this fantasy world will indulge your cravings for intrigue, bravery, desire, and freedom.
~~~~~~~~
Tracy will be awarding a $25 Amazon, Barnes & Noble or iTunes gift card (Winner's Choice) to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour, winner's choice of any one of her stock art products from www.falbepublishing.com.

Excerpt One:
Dacian and Onja talk in prison

“What do you hope to accomplish with your defiance? The tabre will not learn to respect rys if we act below the standards of society,” he said.

His challenging question appeared to sadden her, and she took a moment before answering that she had not really thought about accomplishing anything. She had only wanted the dignity of her freedom.

Dacian contemplated her answer. He had never really considered that the rys were not free. Their second class status had always been such a blaring difficulty that he had not noticed the essential truth of rys life. Keeping to their places also meant that rys were not supposed to go anywhere.

But I was changing that. I was going to go to Kwellstan. Become a part of the hierarchy. Break the trail for others. What have I done? he lamented. After defending Onja how could he possibly be accepted by the Nebakarz?

Onja read his thoughts. He had such lofty goals. Awkwardly she tried to console him. “Maybe this will not be so bad for you.”

He was startled by her comment because he realized that he had left his mind open to her. The intimacy felt strange. It provided an unfamiliar freedom. Dacian did not have to focus on dogma and strive for the correct answers with her.

Dacian moaned. He had not imagined that such a day as this would come. His confinement confused him, but he resolved to be patient and keep his mind away from the door and its sealing spell. Breaking free would only make things worse for him.

To Onja, he admitted, “I don’t know what my life will be like now.”

“Then you have never had so many choices,” she said.

Rhys Rising by Tracy Falbe is an epic fantasy that displays a world, which is both magical and feudalistic. Ms. Falbe has created a detailed world populated by complex characters. Amar is the story’s hero who finds himself forced out of power and  an outlaw.  A powerful magical female saves him. Onja wants him for own purposes.

Rhys Rising is book one in a series rather like the Lord of the Rings. This book sets up the emergence of a new, vivid world and the creation of dro-shalum, curse demon. As in all worlds, there are forces in opposition. Onja’s desire is to strike back at tabre of Nufal, which consists of magical entities who created Rhys and its inhabitants and yet dislike their handiwork.  

This is a fast moving, colorful tale that makes you believe anything can happen even that a non-magical man such as Amar can save the inhabitants of Rhys.  Ms. Fable has done a wonderful job. Book two will continue the battles and trials of Amar and Onja.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

 

I was born in Michigan in 1972 and grew up in Mount Pleasant. It's called the "Mountain Town" but there is no mountain and it's debatable about whether it's pleasant. They say it's a party town and based on extensive research as a young adult I can concur.

Because I always had the childhood fantasy of running away and joining the circus, I moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1995 and lived there until 1997. Those who only stay a week are wimps, but I will say that it's the second year in Vegas that wears you down. Then I realized the pioneers were trying to get to California, and Nevada was not the goal. So I moved to Chico, in Northern California and lived there until 2009. I miss Chico dearly and value greatly the experience of living in that enlightened realm (local government excluded). My wandering has circled back and I'm currently residing in Battle Creek, Michigan. I think I adore the place, but that doesn't make sense. I'm still California dreamin' and fantasize about my return to the Golden State, but for now my existence within the post-apocalyptic Rust Belt is suitably fascinating.

In 2000, I earned a journalism degree from California State University, Chico with the conscious ambition of becoming a fiction writer. With the rapid demise of the newspaper industry and journalism in general, novelist is not such a daft pursuit after all. It's not like I'm actually going to get a job that values my education. Luckily I'm cursed with the impulse to write in a popular yet competitive genre.

Thank you for reviewing my novel. I appreciate the time you took to do it. Hi Andra, what a coincidence that you graduated CMU and know my hometown. @ Catherine, thanks for downloading the novel. Enjoy reading.

Hi Kate, Thanks for reading about my novel. Part of my fantasy world is based on the premise of humans struggling within a world of elite magical beings that rule them. Sometimes they take human needs into account but mostly they consider humans useful but inferior.

Another Michigander, lured away from the dying state to greener pastures only to be called back once more. I made it as far west as AZ before coming back to Detroit once again.

I own all of the Rys books and I mist say, the flow of the stories and the attention to detail are just one of many reasons Tracy’s books are a must-read.

Thank you for the kind comments, Scott. It fulfills me every time another person is able to get something out of my novels. I lived out west for many years. My reasons for coming back to Michigan were many, but leaving California was not something I wanted to do. Perhaps I will return again, but for now it's good to see my kids grow up and get to see their grandparents.

I don’t think anybody comes back because they want to. I am back because my mom got MS - and couple that with her diabetes and my father’s illnesses, somebody needs to watch out for them. I wish you luck in your future endeavors and keep up the good work on the books.
