First Lord's Fury

It seems like yesterday that Tavi of Calderon - a young, unschooled shepherd's apprentice - faced down the savage Marat hordes that threatened his home. Then came the endless trials and triumphs of a man whose skill and power could not be restrained, as Tavi rose through the ranks of the army by his strength, courage, and will. Battling ancient foes, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, Tavi became a legendary man of war - and the rightful First Lord of Alera.

But now the end of all he's fought for is close at hand. The vord - brutal, dreaded enemies of all that is free - are on the march, using fear and chaos to turn the Alerans against one another, and forcing those who will not submit to flee to the outer reaches of the Realm. And, perhaps for the final time, Gaius Octavian and his Legions return to the Calderon Valley to stand against the bane of his people. There, it will take all of his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness.
