About this ebook

L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Cyador's Heirs continues his bestselling fantasy series the Saga of Recluce, which is one the most popular in contemporary epic fantasy.

Decades after the fall of Cyador, its survivors have reestablished themselves in Cigoerne. Young Lerial, living in the shadow of his older brother and heir Lephi, has a preordained future: He will one day command his brother's forces in defense of Cigoerne, serving at his older sibling's pleasure, and no more.

But when Lerial is sent abroad to learn the skills and wisdom he will need to fulfill his future duties, he discovers he is one of those rare beings who can harness both Order and Chaos. And as war finally engulfs the fringes of Cigoerne, Lerial's growing mastery of Order and Chaos is tested to its limits, and his own.

Ratings and reviews

I prefer the books that focus on order by far but also enjoy these that struggle to balance both order and chaos. Good read and good ending to that chapter in the series.

It tells of the beginning of Hamor as we view it under an Emperor in much of the Recluse Saga. There are definitely Cyadoran roots.

Another amazing tale from Recluce.
