New civilizations have fought their way up from the ancient destruction and chaos, knowing little of the lost world that preceded them or the details of its fall. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Myrmidons of Justice command the skies riding their fearsome pteridons. Alector Dainyl is the fourth highest ranking military officer of the Duarchy.

All the questions of the previous two books (LEGACIES and DARKNESS) are finally answered and all the loose ends are tied up. The protagonist is a hero for going into battle against an enemy that is more powerful than he is. His love for his wife adds a romantic dimension that humanizes the larger than life champion. Scepters is an outstanding fantasy.” —\u003ci\u003eMidwest Book Review on Scepters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Faster paced than \u003ci\u003eLegacies\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDarknesses\u003c\/i\u003e is, since it concerns multiple states and their political ambitions, much more intricately plotted. Reading \u003ci\u003eLegacies\u003c\/i\u003e before tackling it is advisable, but because Alucius is like many other Modesitt protagonists, turning the pages to see what the author's current quiet, competent hero will do next is always a pleasure.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist on Darknesses\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eLegacies\u003c\/i\u003e is for people who enjoy a leisurely reading experience, want to see their characters grow and like to fill in the blanks themselves rather than have the author do it for them. . . .
