Return again to Alera Imperia, the Roman Empire inspired fantasy realm from Dresden Files author Jim Butcher. A world in which all of humanity share the ability to use elemental furies, everyone except Tavi. As a Cursor in service to the First Lord of Alera, Gaius Sextus, Tavi must survive using his wits and intelligence in a world where everyone can command these supernatural powers.
This is a continuation of the last book, in which Tavi is now a full fledged Cursor (spy, assassin and special forces operative), and is given an assignment to impersonate a Legion officer and sent to the furthest corner of the realm to avoid a potentially devastating civil uprising that could prove fatal to the young furyless Tavi. This does not work out well as the Legion is faced with an invasion force of Canim, a savage werewolf like race, many times the legions size. When a devastating first strike against the Aleran Legion destroys the chain of command, it leaves Tavi as the Legion commander with no experience as a Legionnaire or an officer. With no furies of his own, Tavi uses every bit of his wit and cunning and bravery to stop the Canim invasion.
Like previous Aleran Codex novels the books are divided into two stories. One is Tavi's and the other is of another cursor Amara. Amara is faced with saving hostages from the ruthless Kalare, who strikes at the First Lord to take the throne for himself. Amara must make an alliance with the Lady Aquitaine, the First Lords political enemy, and a traitor Cursor called Rook.
This book may very well be Butcher's finest work to date, and I say this as a long time fan that reads anything with his name on it.
