Hundreds of years before the events of Imager, Quaeryt is a scholar and has managed to conceal the fact that he is an imager. He persuades his friend Bhayar, ruler of Telaryn, to send him on a mission that will allow him to leave the court politics that threaten his secret.

“Modesitt's work shines with engrossing characters, terrific plotting, and realistic world-building.” —RT Book Reviews on Imager

“The Imager Portfolio features some of the best characters Modesitt has ever created, real enough to make you consider what you'd do in their places.” —Booklist on Imager’s Challenge

“The third Imager Portfolio is an exhilarating thriller. The story line is fast-paced while the locales are vivid; as expected from a former artist turned Imager. Readers will relish the latest entry as L. E. Modesitt, Jr. entertainingly ties the news together in a strong tale in which the hero knows he has come a long way, but learns fast you can go in reverse.” —The Midwest Book Review on Imager’s Intrigue
