Summary

The thrilling follow-up to Scholar - in which, after discovering a coup attempt and preventing a bloody civil war, Quaeryt was appointed princeps of Tilbor - begins a new episode in the young Imager's life. Now second only to the governor, and still hiding his powers as an Imager, Quaeryt is enjoying his new position, as well as his marriage to Lord Bhayar's youngest sister, Vaelora, when a volcanic eruption devastates the old capital of Telaryn. He and his wife are dispatched to Extela, Telaryn's capitol city, to replace the governor killed in the eruption.

Quaeryt and Vaelora must restore order to a city filled with chaos and corruption, and do so quickly. The regiment under his command must soon depart to bolster Telaryn's border defenses against a neighboring ruler who sees the volcanic devastation as an opportunity for invasion and conquest.

Wonderful as always

This is a fantastic story as usual, Quaeryt is called upon to govern an area decimated by a volcano eruption, and is met with suspicion, hostility and the aftermath of years of neglect and corruption by the former governors. He is left no choice but to walk a fine line between what is acceptable and some very questionable acts. Well worth picking up scholar and then this as you won't be disappointed.
