About this audiobook
But when Lerial is sent abroad to be fostered by Major Altyrn to learn the skills and wisdom he will need to fulfill his future duties, he begins a journey into a much larger world that brings out his true potential. Lerial has talents that few, as yet, suspect: He is one of those rare beings who can harness both Order and Chaos, the competing natural forces that shape the world and define the magic that exists within it. And as war finally engulfs the fringes of Cigoerne, Lerial's growing mastery of Order and Chaos is tested to its limits and his own.

Reviews for Cyador's Heirs
45 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The first of a duology set in the Recluce series, this is a good one.As usual with Recluce we are taken on the journey of a young person that grows into the shoes of an adult, and we see the world, more through the eyes as an adult would. Not that Modesitt is trying to achieve that but he does not have Eddinggs mastery of writing how a young person sees the world. All heroes that Modesitt gives us can think through problems like a wise old man, and then come up with a great solution to a problem.Not that it detracts from the series, and this duology will certainly see problems that an older person can solve better than our hero at his age. Yet out on campaign in a war, our hero learns and adapts and we watch his progression with fascination. Later we see in the scheme of the entire work a very much political, socio and economic underpinnings that pave the way for the development of further depth to the characters as well as the plot. All adds to make a convincing story that may well be worth a reread.
