Publisher's Summary

Ceryl, now a full mage in The White Order, must prove himself indispensable to Jeslek, the High Wizard. Whether it be the threat of assassination, the effective governance of occupied territory, or the fearless and clever direction of troops in battle, Ceryl faces many harrowing obstacles, not the least of which is Anya, the plotting seductress who's the real power behind the scenes of the white wizards. With his wits, his integrity, and the support of his love, the Black healer Leyladin, he must survive long enough to claim his rightful spot within the ruling hierarchy of the White Order.

Colors of Chaos is a must-listen for followers of the Saga of Recluce, offering a unique, sympathetic point of view of the White Chaos wizards - the forces that throughout history have opposed the magicians of Recluce.

Critic Reviews

"Marked by high intelligence. A powerful, educated, serious, and understated imagination is plainly at work in this latest entry to a saga that is beginning to take on the complexity of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time cycle." ---Publishers Weekly

Another solid book in the Recluce series.

Although I've loved every book in the series so far, this is one of my favourites. It felt a little like Modessit's Imager series at times, too, which actually worked well for the characters.

The characters were well developed and complex, as usual. Authentic development and interactions of characters are one of Modessit's strengths, and this book delivers in truckloads. It's also a very 'big feeling' book, in scope and plot, which gives an intriguing new perspective on the ever-unfolding world of Candar.

If you enjoy the other Recluse books, then you'll love this. Read The White Order first, and this book will reward you all the way through.
