This is a follow up novel with the Natural Ordermage. It is a great book and follows the footsteps of Rahl as he comes to terms with his powers and works his way up in the mage guard ranks with his mentor. I could not put it down and finished it in 2 days of constant reading. L. E. Modesitt is a great author and does a great job finishing the stories of his characters, like Lorn in Magi'i and Scion of Cyador, Lerris in The Magic of Recluce and Death of Chaos, Kharl in Wellspring of Chaos and Ordermaster, and Nylan in Fall of Angels and The Chaos Balance.
Excellent follow-up to Natural Ordermaster. Kept my attention so much that I had to stay in the book until I was done.
