Publisher Description

In his acclaimed Codex Alera novels, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher has created a fascinating world in which the powerful forces of nature take physical form. But even magic cannot sway the corruption that threatens to destroy the realm of Alera once and for all...   When the power-hungry High Lord of Kalare launches a merciless rebellion against the First Lord, young Tavi of Calderon joins a newly formed legion under an assumed name. And when the ruthless Kalare allies himself with a savage enemy of the realm, Tavi finds himself leading an inexperienced, poorly equipped legion—the only force standing between Alera and certain doom...

"I felt the first book of this series was okay, nothing particularly special though. The second book was MUCH better, and with this one, the series really hits its stride. Epic, high fantasy despite the lack of elves and dwarves. Excellent, excellent. Can you tell I liked this book?"

— Janice (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

    — Library Journal

    " Once again, a complete shock at the end. How does he do it? I want to say they're unbelievable or out of place, but they're not. It's not normal for me to be snowed so completely, but Butcher can do it! It would have a higher score but, like always, there's sex and swearing. "

    " I am caught up in the characters and can't quit reading the series even though the author's ability to get me to suspend my disbelief is weak. It does keep me going and wanting to know how Tavi is going get out of it this time. It also seems to me that the titles are off. "
