B.T. Narro

B.T. Narro writes expansive fantasy series connected by recurring worlds, magical systems, and characters whose alliances shift across long story arcs. Reign of Havoc is the second volume in Legends of the Tainted, following The Mage From Nowhere. With the manastorms that isolated continents finally calming, ancient sorcerers arrive in Dorrinthal to compete for control of sorcery. Tarak must respond by building uneasy alliances, developing his own abilities through experimentation, and deciding how far he can trust the celebrated Jon Oklar. The 2023 novel broadens the series from one reluctant newcomer’s education into a conflict involving distant lands and older powers. Narro balances that widening scale with Tarak’s irreverent personality and practical need for order, keeping personal choices visible amid magical rivalry. Reign of Havoc therefore serves as both a continuation of Tarak’s progression and a bridge toward the larger history of the Legends of the Tainted world.
