L. E. Modesitt, Jr., is one of the regular setters in fantasy today, and his most well-known series may be the Saga of Recluce. Each book fills in bits of the history of this property where Chaos and Purchase make an effort to maintain a magical balance.

Magi’i of Cyador marks the start of a new tale from deep within the affluent depths of the annals of Recluce. This is actually the story of Lorn, a talented youngster born into a category of Magi’i. A diligent pupil of remarkable talent, Lorn lacks only the single most coveted attribute required of the Magus of Cyador: unquestionable devotion. Lorn is too impartial for his personal good.

Therefore Lorn is forced to become lancer official, and he’s delivered to the frontier to fight off the all-too-frequent barbarian raids-a career that is included with a 50 percent mortality rate. His foes don’t expect him to survive…

Lorn is a fresh, new character who’ll enrich among today’s most important illusion series: the saga of Recluce.
