The Mage-Fire War by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

This book follows the Outcasts of Order.   Beltur and Jessyla have taken up residency in Haven by grace of the Duchess.  They are expected to bring order (pun intended) to Haven, a lawless and seemingly ungovernable community.  

Modesitt writes a great story.   In this book he shows how determination and wit can overcome brawn and witlessness, impulsiveness and rancor.   Beltur and company must find a way to overcome daunting odds to defeat the Duke’s troops and protect their community.

Modesitt spins a plausible tale while showing that karma really can bite you in the butt.

I am a Modesitt fan and I loved this book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
