<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>The second big novel in the Imager Portfolio, in a world where magic rules in secret</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Imager's Challenge</i> takes up immediately after the conclusion of <i>Imager</i>. Still recovering from injuries received in foiling the plots of the Ferran envoy, Rhenn is preparing to take up his new duties as imager liaison to the Civic Patrol of L'Excelsis. No sooner has he assumed his new position than he discovers two things. First, the Commander of the Civic Patrol doesn't want a liaison from the infamous Collegium, and soon has Rhenn patrolling the streets of the worst district in the city. Second, Rhenn receives formal notice that one of the High Holders, the father of a man Rhenn partly blinded in self-defense, has declared his intention to destroy Rhenn and his family. <p/>Rhenn's only allies are the family of the girl he loves, successful merchants with underworld connections. In the end, Rhenn must literally stand off against gang lords, naval marines, Tiempran terrorist priests, the most powerful High Holder in all of Solidar, and his own Collegium--and find a way to prevail without making further enemies and endangering those he loves. <p/><b>The Imager Portfolio</b> <p/>#1 <i>Imager</i><br>#2 <i>Imager's Challenge</i><br>#3 <i>Imager's Intrigue</i><br>#4 <i>Scholar</i><br>#5 <i>Princeps</i><br>#6 <i>Imager's Battalion</i><br>#7 <i>Antiagon Fire</i><br>#8 <i>Rex Regis</i><br>#9 <i>Madness in Solidar</i><br>#10 <i>Treachery's Tools</i><br>#11 <i>Assassin's Price</i> (forthcoming) <p/><b>Other series by this author: </b><br>The Saga of Recluce<br>The Corean Chronicles<br>The Spellsong Cycle<br>The Ghost Books<br>The Ecolitan Matter</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The prolific Modesitt kicks off a new fantasy series that boasts an early modern setting-think Victorian times without the pollution. . . .
