From Publishers Weekly
A few years after Sword, a young man once known as Breaker, destroyed the Dark Lord of the Galbek Hills in The Wizard Lord (2006), his short-lived respite from defending the land of Barokan comes to an end in this solid second installment in Watt-Evans's Annals of the Chosen trilogy. As one of the eight magically empowered Chosen, Sword must protect Barokan against the possibility of its Wizard Lord going rogue. Now, the Wizard Lord's strange behavior has begun to worry the Chosen, and they must determine if his motivation to modernize Barokan is benevolent or if he intends to do away with magic in order to consolidate power. Though Sword's ambivalence about his violent duties makes him a reluctant hero, when it comes time for him to act, he does so swiftly and decisively. Fans of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance saga will find this series much to their taste. (May)

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–The world is watched over and governed by the Wizard Lord, and it is the duty of the Chosen, eight magically infused mortals, to be sure that he does so justly. The Leader, the Seer, the Swordsman, the Beauty, the Thief, the Scholar, the Archer, and the Speaker had done their duty by removing the former insane and tyrannical Wizard Lord in the first book in the series, The Wizard Lord (Tor, 2006). Now, peace and tranquility have been restored. The new Wizard Lord is well loved and improving the world through technology instead of magic. Everything looks good on the surface, but Sword has his suspicions and travels to Winterhome, the Wizard Lord's dwelling, to see for himself. What he finds is disturbing. The traitor to the Chosen in the last battle is the Wizard Lord's chief adviser. His questions multiplied instead of answered, Sword calls the Chosen together to confront the Wizard Lord and, by the end of that confrontation, few Chosen are left. With the survivors scattered and their magical powers gone, it will be up to Sword to assemble a new group of heroes to sort out the answers raised in this installment and to remove a wily foe. True to its serial nature, this book has no true ending and produces more new questions than answers, but it is well written and intriguing enough to leave readers eager to find out what happens next.–Dana Cobern-Kullman, Luther Burbank Middle School, Burbank, CA
