About this title

Review

A thinking person's fantasy novel, with world-building of the first order. Robert J. Sawyer, author of End of an Era

Exciting, adventurous, gland-tweaking yarn he is spinning on the surface. Analog

Modesitt's elaborate and intelligent working out of a system of magic and a system of technology parallel to it is becoming more the life-blood of the Recluce books with every new volume. Booklist

The author's ability to concentrate on the personal lives of the characters as well as their involvement in world-shaking decisions gives depth and believability to a unique fantasy environment. A strong choice for most fantasy collections. Library Journal

In this fourth tale set in Modesitt's universe, where good and evil, chaos and order, are in perpetual conflict, a young wizard finds that his destiny is to strike a balance, but at considerable personal cost. Modesitt creates a deeper and more intricate world with each volume. Publishers Weekly
