Froyo is frustrated. All he wants to do is travel in his coach to Minor Tetons to meet his friends for a Six Pack reunion. Also, he anticipates an excellent reunion dinner of many courses prepared by the extraordinary chefs at the palace. But no, it seems like someone wants to kill him at every turn. His trip from the Mire to Minor Tetons turns into a nightmare of danger. Meanwhile, the great, great-grandson of the Great Schnoz, Nostril, is running the family business of domination and conquest from the Temple of the Coming Dark in Grim. Nostril's alchemists have prepared a new ruling ring. A ring designed to control the rings of the elves and men. Two spies, Aaron of Gonner and Fidelia of Lostlorriland, overhear Nostril's nefarious plans and set out to carry word to the free kingdoms of Central Oith before Nostril can strike. Soon, Froyo and his friends are embroiled in danger and intrigue. Can they thwart Nostril and save the kingdoms of Central Oith from total domination? Will they survive the endeavor? New Ring Rising is the second book of the Schnozring Trilogy, which includes Schnoz of the Rings (I) and Ring War (III).
