About this eBook
In the acclaimed Codex Alera novels, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher has created a fascinating world in which the people of Alera use their unique bond with the elemental forces of nature for protection. But even nature may not be enough to stave off the coming storm…
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 to their lands, his worst fears are realized. The dreaded Vord—the enemy of Aleran and Canim alike—have laid waste to the Canim homeland. And the Alerans find themselves trapped alongside their former enemies.
Meanwhile, war-torn Alera rebuilds while politicians and nobles vie for power. But from the south comes the news: the Vord have come to Alera. For a thousand years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy, and survived every foe. But the thousand years are over...

Jim Butcher’s Codex Alera series, renowned for its masterful blend of epic fantasy and intricate world-building, continues to impress with its latest installment. In this book, we follow Tavi of Calderon, now Princeps Gaius Octavian, as he navigates the delicate political landscape of Alera. His achievement in forging a tenuous alliance with the Canim, Alera’s historic adversaries, sets the stage for a gripping new chapter.

These are great stories, I love them. Jim Butcher can make you laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next.

Very good. 4 stars instead of 5 because it is so short compared to the
other books. Shouldn't cost as much as them.

About the author
A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut’s Windlass.
