“Corus is a fascinating land, full of both new and ancient magic, and the inhabitants are possibly the most fascinating of all, with complex motivations underpinning their every action.” —Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine
“A powerful, enthralling and exciting fantasy epic. 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.” —Midwest Book Review on Scepters
“An intriguing blend of martial fantasy and SF . . . [with] vivid and inventive magic.” —Publishers Weekly on Scepters
“[Legacies] offers us strong characters, a brand new world with its own subset of peoples, magical beings and beasties. . . . Old fans of L.E. Modesitt, Jr. will thrill at this new series because there is certainly enough of Recluce here to feel that you are back home without having to travel down the same old roads again. New fans will thrill at the prospect of being in at the start of a brand new world!” —SFRevu.com
