Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Thick as it is, the 15th Recluce novel is actually just the second half of the story that began with Natural Ordermage (2007), in which young Rahl was exiled from Recluce because he couldn't control his passions or considerable magical talents. Now on the much larger island of Hamor, where magicians work for the government, he resentfully receives the protection and training he needs from older mage-guard Taryl, who never seems satisfied even with Rahl's best efforts. More serious tests follow when the emperor's brother leads a revolt and Rahl is sent off with the troops. As he endures a long military campaign—with readers feeling they've slogged along with him through detailed descriptions of crops, architecture and weather—Rahl realizes that order isn't quite the same thing as good, and chaos isn't necessarily evil. Watching him learn to work within this complicated system and decide what's important makes the dolorous trek worthwhile. (July)

Review
Praise for L.E. Modesitt, Jr.:
“This is a writer who cares about his characters and his world. This is disciplined fantasy, not fluff. L. E. Modesitt, Jr. is uncompromising when it comes to the effects of magic, both on the natural world and on the human heart. There are no cheap solutions to the problems of Recluce. Because of that, it is a world worth returning to.”
--Megan Lindholm (Robin Hobb)
Praise for Ordermaster:

“In this thirteenth novel in the Saga of Recluse [sic], Modesitt’s subtext is power and responsibility, explored both through the action-packed main plot and through Kharl’s legal studies….This thoughtful work should appeal to all readers of fantasy.”
--VOYA
“Modesitt’s Recluce sagas derive their appeal from the evocation of reality in every detail of setting and character.”
