<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Includes an excerpt from the author's Cadmian's choice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>L. E. Modesitt, Jr., author of the bestselling Saga of Recluce fantasy series, opens the door into a marvelous new world.</b> <p/>Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a great worldwide civilization, the end of a golden age. New civilizations have fought their way up from the ancient destruction and chaos, knowing little of the lost world that preceded them or the details of its fall. Corus today is a world of contending countries, of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a place of magical powers, and of a few people who are talented enough to use them. <p/>The Myrmidons of Justice command the skies riding their fearsome pteridons. Alector Dainyl is the fourth highest ranking military officer of the Duarchy. Captain Mykel is a young officer potentially Talented and unaware that, should he ever discover that Talent, his life is forfeit. Rebellion spirals out of control, spurred by treachery, corruption, and greed. <p/><b>The Corean Chronicles</b><br>Legacies<br>Darknesses<br>Scepters<br>Alector's Choice<br>Cadmian's Choice<br>Soarer's Choice<br>The Lord-Protector's Daughter<br>Lady-Protector <p/><b>Other series by this author: </b><br>The Saga of Recluce<br>Imager Portfolio<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>"A powerful, enthralling and exciting fantasy epic. All the questions of the previous two books (LEGACIES and DARKNESS) are finally answered and all the loose ends are tied up. The protagonist is a hero for going into battle against an enemy that is more powerful than he is. His love for his wife adds a romantic dimension that humanizes the larger than life champion. Scepters is an outstanding fantasy." --<i>Midwest Book Review on Scepters</i> <p/>"Faster paced than <i>Legacies</i>, <i>Darknesses</i> is, since it concerns multiple states and their political ambitions, much more intricately plotted. Reading <i>Legacies</i> before tackling it is advisable, but because Alucius is like many other Modesitt protagonists, turning the pages to see what the author's current quiet, competent hero will do next is always a pleasure." --<i>Booklist on Darknesses</i> <p/>"<i>Legacies</i> is for people who enjoy a leisurely reading experience, want to see their characters grow and like to fill in the blanks themselves rather than have the author do it for them. . . . With a likable character in an intriguing land, Legacies is off to a promising start." --<i>Starlog on Legacies</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>L. E. Modesitt, Jr. </b>was born in Denver, CO in 1943. In the years since, he has been a delivery boy; a lifeguard; an unpaid radio disc jockey; a U.S. Navy pilot; a market research analyst; a real estate agent; director of research for a political campaign; legislative assistant and staff director for a U.S. Congressman; Director of Legislation and Congressional Relations for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; a consultant on environmental, regulatory, and communications issues; a college lecturer and writer in residence; and unpaid treasurer of a civic music arts association.
