Publisher Description
In the sequel to Sword of Fire and Sea, Vidarian Rulorat faces the consequences of opening the gate between worlds. Called into service by the desperate young emperor of Alorea, Vidarian must lead sky ships in a war against the neighboring southern empire, train the demoralized imperial Sky Knights to ride beasts that now shapeshift, master his own amplified elemental magic, and win back Ariadel—all without losing his mind. From the Trade Paperback edition.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vidarian Rulorat faces the consequences of his actions in 2011's Sword of Fire and Sea, consequences that include rekindling elemental magic across his world killing many of the world's most powerful men as a side-effect and triggering a war between Qui and Vidarian's homeland, Aloria. Vidarian's true challenge is not the sudden change he has wrought but the machinations of an established force: the ancient, powerful, amoral Alorian Import Company. Hoffman is an online gaming veteran with a decade's experience writing short fiction, but a relative newcomer to novel-length fantasy, and her second Chaos Knight novel suffers from flaws often seen in games: while her execution is competent enough, her world feels too familiar, too parallel to older secondary-world settings. Her obvious strengths promise more than this book delivers.
