The newest novel in the story arc of the history of Recluce tells the story of Lorn, a remarkably talented boy born into a family of Magi'i, who lacks the single most coveted attribute required of a Magus of Cyador: unquestionable loyalty. Lorn is too independent for his own good, and he's made into a lance officer and shipped off to the frontier to fight off the barbarian raids.

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

A diligent student of remarkable talent, Lorn lacks only the single most coveted attribute required of a Magus of Cyador: unquestionable loyalty. Too independent for his own good, Lorn is forced to become a lancer officer, and is sent to the frontier to fight off the all-too-frequent barbarian raids--a career that comes with a 50% mortality rate. His enemies don't expect him to survive . . .

"An intriguing fantasy in a fascinating world."--Robert Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of The Wheel of Time(R) series
