Legacies is the big new L. E Modesitt, Jr. fantasy novel that launches the Corean Chronicles and a whole new fantasy world. Corus is a world of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a world of magical powers and of a few people who are Talented enough to use them. Alusius, the hero of the story, is one such person. Born into a successful herder family, but lacking a father (killed while serving in the Militia), Alusius is raised on a Nightsheep ranch by his mother and grandparents, and schooled at home. As a child, he shows very strong Talent. He is warned gravely that he must never reveal this outside the home lest he spend his life in servitude to some rich and powerful person. But as he grows to be a young man, Alusius must serve in the Militia, and as the land is invaded by the slave armies of The Matrial, an immortal ruler in a nearby land, Alusius is captured and enslaved. There is a time of changes come upon all of the world of Corus, and the evil surrounding The Matrial must be brought to an end. Gradually, Alusius realizes that he, and his Talent, have a central role to play. |
