內容簡介: |
For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against
the aggressive races that inhabit the world, using their unique
bond with the furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water and
metal. But now, Gaius Sextus, First Lord of Alera, grows old and
lacks an heir. Ambitious Lords manoeuvre to place their Houses in
positions of power, and a war of succession looms on the horizon.
Far from city politics in the Calderon Valley, young Tavi struggles
with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to
help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans''
most savage enemy - the Marat - return to the Valley, his world
will change. Caught in a storm of deadly wind furies, Tavi saves
the life of a runaway slave. But Amara is actually a spy, seeking
intelligence on possible Marat traitors to the Crown. And when the
Valley erupts into chaos - when rebels war with loyalists and
furies clash with furies - Amara will find Tavi invaluable. His
talents will outweigh any fury-born power - and could even turn the
tides of war.
