From Back cover:

   “I could not put it down. This is an outstanding fantasy tale.”

-Andre Norton on The Towers of the Sunset

   “This is a writer who cares about his characters and his world. This is disciplined fantasy, not fluff. L. E. Modesitt, Jr., is uncompromising when it comes to the effects of magic, both on the natural world and on the human heart. There are no cheap solutions; to the problems of Recluce. Because of that, it is a world worth returning to.”

-Megan Lindholm

   “Modesitt's many fans will enjoy this seventh entry in his Recluce series, as will any reader who relishes intricate plotting, sympathetic characters and action galore.”

-Publishers Weekly on The Chaos Balance
