A military genius and master of sorcery whose story stretches back to before the dawn of history. Now, after a long absence, the undead Sethra Lavode, the Enchantress of Dzur Mountain, has reentered the Empire's affairs. And the affairs of Khaavren and Pel, Tazendra and Aerich, and all their descendants, colleagues, and friends. <p/>For since Adron's Disaster, when Dragaera City was turned instantly into a sea of amorphia, the Empire has been in ruins. Trade has declined, brigands rule the roads, plagues sweep through the population. Now an ambitious Dragonlord means to rebuild the Empire in his own name. But unknown to him, the true heir, the Phoenix Zerika, has already retrieved the Imperial Orb from the Paths of the Dead. Sethra Lavode means to see Zerika on the throne. To do so will entail a climactic battle of sorcery and arms, told with all the swashbuckling flair for which Steven Brust is known. <p/><b>The Khaavren Romances, set in the world of Vlad Taltos's Dragaera: </b><br>1. <i>The Phoenix Guards</i><br>2. <i>Five Hundred Years After</i><br>3. <i>The Paths of the Dead (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Vol. 1)</i><br>4. <i>The Lord of Castle Black (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Vol. 2)</i><br>5. <i>Sethra Lavode (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Vol. 3)</i><br><i>The Baron of Magister Valley</i> [standalone]</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Includes all the action, romance, and pathod of its predecessors "The Phoenix Guards", "Five Hundred Years After", "The Paths of the Dead", and "The Lord of Castle Black"...There's no denying Brust's fine pacing and worldbuilding and his sheer pizzazz." --"Booklist "on "Sethra Lavode"<BR><BR>"Watch Steven Brust. He's good. He moves fast. He surprises you.
