Corus today is a world of contending countries, of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a place of magical powers and of a few people who are talented enough to use them. Alusius, the hero of the story, is one.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This military fantasy novel is typical of Modesitt's unique style. The setting and activities of the characters are described in extensive detail, which makes for great world-building, although it is a bit tedious to read, at times. While it is heavy on strategy and tactics, the characters tend to have all the personality and individuality of game pieces. It's definitely not a character driven story, but if you like tales full of magically augmented battles, you'll probably go this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Let's see...military magic handsome, strong, smart, magically powerful young man basically 1 POV = a wonderful story. I read Henty's historical fiction for the "good young soldier books" and others for the fantastical magic. I have to enjoy when it is combined.Modesitt has less of the funny sound effects that were in previous books (horses "whuffing", etc), though a few repeated words (he likes to use "[he/she] offered" a bit much in replace of "[he/she] said").In spite of those few flaws, I'll eat up this series, and then want more, I'm sure.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like this trilogy a fair amount 3.5 stars. Not as good as his Recluse series, but better than the Soprano Sorceress series. There is another trilogy set in the same world that comes before this chronologically.
