Synopsis

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.

April 2017 review: This ends Quaeryt's story & it ends pretty well. There is plenty left for him to do & we know some of the results due to the first 3 books in the series. Again, I felt this book was a bit too much of a good thing, especially the fawning over Quaeryt. Not awful, just repetitive. I......more

Goodreads review by Bryan

This was a very satisfying ending to the Imager prequel series. You should know that this set of books is set 750 years in the future of the first three Imager books. It concludes the story of the Rex Regis mentioned in the initial trilogy and more importantly the story of his then unnamed imager. Th......more

Goodreads review by Alexander

I was very disappointed with this final book of the series. Normally I like Modesitt books because they are consistent and are ths a familiar friend. Normal stories have a series of small events that build up to a large event. Sort of like build-up, event, build up, event, build up, EVENT. This book......more

Goodreads review by Liviu

very appropriate ending to Quaeryt's story though of course one wants more in the Imager universe; more in the vein of book 1 with intrigue rather than battles, and almost all the little things from the first books (eg the fate of the last Khanara of Tilbor or of Eluisa's family or who wrote the boo......more
