The Realm of Gods

BOOK THREE OF THE CHRONICLES OF CHAOS

THE FINALE OF THE CHAOS TRILOGY

The gods of Order were banished, not slain. Now they are back.

Eve follows a thread into the Dreaming and finds Galen alive in a world of his own making, locked in a merciless hunt with Carnaubas. But just as Galen corners his prey, a god of Order seizes the wretched man-child. Faced with annihilation, Carnaubas blurts out his only leverage: he knows how the gods can breach the boundary between worlds.

And now, so do they.

The Gifts of Order return. Stone statues stir in their alcoves. The temples surge back to life. With the original Gift of Chaos gone, the gods are free to resume the plan they set in motion long ago—a design that turns human faith into a weapon against Chaos itself.

Only one force has ever held the gods in check: Chaos.

To stop what has begun, Eve and Galen must find the God of Chaos and forge a new Gift of their own.

Their search drags them deeper into the Dreaming than any mortal has ever gone and exposes what the gods have hidden since their creation.

And once the truth is revealed, there will be no returning to the world they knew.

REVIEWS

★★★★★ “With a mix of dark worldbuilding and charming characters, this final installment is full of twists and reveals that kept me on edge to the very last page. Realm of Gods is a fantastic end to an imaginative series. I hope this isn’t the last we see of this world!”—Samantha Cook, award-winning author of The Clearing

★★★★★ “The Realm of the Gods is a real nail-biter. The action is fast-paced, exciting, and just when I would think I knew where the story was going, Dahlgren would throw a perfect twist that kept the story fresh and original. It was an excellent resolution to the series, except that I wanted MORE and wanted it NOW!“—Christy Marx, award-winning writer of Conan, Red Sonja, and Elfquest

★★★★★ “Glen Dahlgren has hit it out of the known universe with The Realm of Gods, his emotion-packed finale to The Chronicles of Chaos. Dahlgren not only did not disappoint, but he gave much, much more than I ever expected. I found the whole series captivating on the level of greats such as The Wheel of Time, The Lord of the Rings, and, more recently, The Witcher. This series will be a collector’s set with the other great minds who took fantasy one step further. It is a classic in the making with characters that will stand the test of time.“—Diane Kane, award-winning author of I Never Called Him Pa

★★★★★ “The Realm of Gods brings to a stunning, riveting conclusion to The Chronicles of Chaos. From Dantess’ discovery of his powers in the powerful prequel, The Game of War, toward this book’s final, inevitable conflict, every page on this journey has been a delight. You will love every chapter, but dread that this roller coaster of a journey is over… now we await a new Chronicle!“—Tom Hall, co-founder, id software; game designer on Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM

★★★★★ “It’s rare for an author to admit that any other author is a ‘one-click’ buy – we’re a competitive lot – but Glen Dahlgren has become a fantasy author whose work I simply must read.”—J. D. Ruffin, author of the bestselling Kingdom War series

★★★★★ “There is always a slightly bittersweet moment when I finish reading a series that I’ve really enjoyed. A part of me never wants it to end, while the rest of me is thoroughly enjoying the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Such it was with Glen Dahlgren’s Realm of the Gods, the final book in the Chronicles of Chaos series, a thrilling conclusion to a series that has captured the mind and the heart. The characters throughout the series popped off the page in such a realistic, unique way, and the world is one that deserves to be remembered.“—E. G. Stone, author of The Innocence of Death
