The newest novel of the bestselling Imager Portfolio
This sequel to Modesitt’s Scholar — in which, after discovering a coup attempt and preventing a bloody civil war, Quaeryt was appointed princeps of Tilbor — begins a new episode in the life of the former scholar. Now second only to the governor, and still hiding his powers as an Imager, Quaeryt is enjoying his new position, as well as his marriage to Lord Bhayar’s youngest sister, Vaelora, when a volcanic eruption devastates the old capital of Telaryn.
He and his wife are dispatched to
Extela, Telaryn’s capitol city, to replace the governor killed in the
eruption. Not only must Quaeryt and Vaelora restore order to a city
filled with chaos and corruption, but they must do so quickly. The
regiment under his command (and the sources of his political power on
the spot) must soon depart to bolster Telaryn’s border defenses against
a neighboring ruler who sees the volcanic devastation as a possible
opportunity for invasion and conquest.
