The Corean Chronicles, Tome 3 : Scepters

Résumé

After the wars and hardships of the past several years, Alucius is happy to finally return home to his Nightsheep farm and his wife, Wendra, who is pregnant with their first child. But this happiness doesn’t last long, for the land of Corus is once again beset by enemies on all sides. Alucius finds he must return to active duty to do his part to stave off the coming conflicts. He is promoted to higher rank and given command of a combined force of Northern and Southern guards to aid the fight. With his army, Alucius encounters all sorts of new enemies including a religiously inspired rebellion and an alien evil that seeks to enslave the entire population of Corus. Meanwhile, Alucius’ old enemy, the Madriens, are again using their ancient weapons to wreak havoc on the land.

With all of these battles raging, Alucius must call on the mysterious ancient Soarers, his own Talent, as well as that of his wife, if he has any hope of success. SCEPTERS is a thrilling conclusion to the first epic trilogy of L.E. Modesitt, Jr.’s Corean Chronicles.
