The new novel in the New York Times bestselling Imager Portfolio
The saga of the Imager Quaeryt, Commander in the forces of Lord Bhayar, reaches a new climax as the great struggle to unify the
continent of Lydar enters its final phase. Only the land of Khel remains uncommitted to Bhayar’s rule. Their decision could mean a lasting
peace, or more conflict across an already war-ravaged realm.
While the conqueror of Bovaria awaits emissaries to arrive with news
of Khel’s decision, other weighty matters occupy Bhayar, his sister
Velora, and her husband Quaeryt — not the least of which is the
fulfillment of Quaeryt's dream to create the world's first Imager
academy, where the magical abilities of these powerful casters may be
honed, managed, and put to the service of the common good.
But before that dream may be realized, or Khel’s fateful choice made known, the spectre of high treason threatens to unravel all that Quaeryt has achieved, catapulting him toward a fateful confrontation with Bhayar's most powerful military leaders.
