Publisher's summary

Tavi of Calderon, now recognized as Princeps Gaius Octavian and heir to the crown, has achieved a fragile alliance with Alera's oldest foes, the savage Canim. But when Tavi and his legions guide the Canim safely to their lands, his worst fears are realized.

The dreaded Vord - the enemy of Aleran and Cane alike - have spent the last three years laying waste to the Canim homeland. And when the Alerans are cut off from their ships, they find themselves with no choice but to fight shoulder to shoulder if they are to survive.

For 1,000 years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy and survived every foe. The 1,000 years are over....

Critic reviews

"As is the case with Dresden, Mr. Butcher has the uncanny ability to make his Codex Alera realm seem real; as he understands it is in the subtle details...An exciting fantasy thriller.” (Midwest Book Review)

"Rousing...No less powerful than his intense battle scenes [are] Butcher’s vivid characterizations.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“A treat for action fans and series followers.” (Booklist)

good book!

Great story as with the rest of the codex books, but there is some bad editing that cuts off word in some places.

A good series benefits from a great narrator

Nothing new in the plot, the villains are scary and overwhelming right up till the moment the underdog hero/s pulls off a last minute victory. Yet the characters and story remain enjoyable. Kate Reading is a pleasure to listen to.
If you like a series in the style of Tolkien, Jordon and Sanderson, you will enjoy this series - just don't expect the depth of character or complexity.

it's fantastic!

The book is fantastic, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

The recording is a little messed up, like sections were cut wrong, so sometimes you miss a word or two, but it's still wonderful.

Great series of books

Great books, I hope Butcher continues this series past First Lords Fury. At first I really thought a male voice would have been better, but by end of series Kate Reading grew on me and she did a great job.
