Synopsis

The hard-won battles fought in Imager's Battalion have earned Quaeryt a promotion to commander, as well as an assignment to convince the Pharsi High Council in the nation of Khel to submit to Lord Bhayar's rule, which is key to Bhayar's ambition to unite all of Solidar. Joined by his pregnant wife Vaelora, who is also Bhayar's sister, Quaeryt leads an army and a handful of imagers deeper into the hostile lands once held by the tyrannical Rex Kharst, facing stiff-necked High Holders, attacks by land and sea—including airborne fire launched by hostile imagers from the land of Antiago—and a mysterious order of powerful women who seem to recognize the great destiny that awaits Quareyt and Vaelora, as well as the cost of achieving it.

Quaeryt got on his high horse & rode through this one. Pretty interesting with a lot of action. Not sure all the imaging made as much sense, though. Definitely growing in strength, but some of it didn't ring true. A good story, but not quite up to some of the others. A bit of a needed place holder,......more

Goodreads review by Bryan on July 20, 2014

This is a weaker entry in the Imager series. I was disappointed to see that the romance fell a bit flat during most of the book. I kept thinking that either Quyaert or Valoria would bring this up. They seemed to really fail in communication which felt wrong after so many of the letters between the t......more

Goodreads review by AtlantaTwin on June 29, 2013

About 2/3 of the way through the book, I found myself not wanting to listen anymore because of the reasoning behind justifying the war. Taking rule over many lands to apply the same set of laws and eliminate all future fighting: seriously? Just because people are different doesn't make their way of......more

Goodreads review by Marlie on August 24, 2013

I have to admit that the shine is wearing off this series for me. In this book, Quaeryt faces a series of challenges as he attempts to carry out his lord's orders. This is exactly the same plot as the last 2 books, and since it takes Quaeryt half a page to solve any problem put in front of him, it t......more
