Synopsis

The cooper Kharl has no sooner taken possession of the estate bestowed upon him by Lord Ghrant of Austra when he is summoned back to the capital. After a bloody campaign, in which Kharl discovers and is forced to use even more deadly order magery, civil order is restored and Ghrant's throne firmly secured. But Kharl is now a famous and feared public figure, the Lord's Mage, and his notoriety makes him uncomfortable.

To his surprise, Kharl is soon called upon again by Lords Ghrant and Hagen. Back in his hometown of Brysta, he discovers that his old enemy Egen is engaged in a plot with the Hamorians to take the throne from his father and open Nordla to the enemy. Kharl has to find a solution, for the sake of both the land of his birth and his adopted new country.

the second and final part of cooper Kharl storyline; the first part is much better than the second which is quite repetitive, while the hero is still not that believable, though in this one, he reads better than in the earlier book......more

Goodreads review by Hailey on January 06, 2021

I enjoyed (as always) reading another one of the recluse books. This was the second book following the character Kharl. Kharl's journey and character progression felt vary similar to Modesitt's imager portfolio despite it being a different series. So if you liked the imager series, Kharl's story wil......more
