Description
For centuries, the people of Alera have harnessed the furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal - to protect their land from aggressors. But no fury can save them from the dangers they face within ...In Alera Imperia, the capital of the realm, the young man Tavi secretly trains to become one of the First Lord's spies while also suffering through rigorous academic studies and fulfilling his duties as a page. But his heaviest burden is his inability to control the furies, which makes Tavi especially vulnerable at the worst possible moment ...A mysterious attack from across the sea weakens the First Lord. Should he fall, a bloody civil war is inevitable. Tavi must fend off assassination attempts and treachery within the First Lord's circle of spies, while somehow maintaining the illusion that all is well.And in the Calderon Valley, an ancient menace has risen from a long slumber and is heading straight for the heart of Alera and the one who awakened it: Tavi. Amid the advance of bloodthirsty creatures, warring factions, and swirling furies, Tavi and his friends face the greatest threats Alera has ever known.

Similar Authors From NoveList
NoveList provides detailed suggestions for other authors you might want to read if you enjoyed this book. Suggestions are based on recommendations from librarians and other contributors.
Steven Brust's opportunistic sorcerer/sometime-assassin Vlad Taltos may appeal to readers of both Jim Butcher's Dresden and Codex Alera series. For the former, Brust's Taltos is a sympathetic-but-flawed protagonist caught up in dangerous intrigues and corruption around him; for the latter, Brust vividly realizes a quasi-medieval fantasy setting. -- Kim Burton
Jim Butcher and Charles de Lint write bleakly evocative depictions of their dark urban fantasy worlds. Butcher's Chicago and de Lint's imaginary Newford each harbor portals to magical realms where danger lurks and from which it may emerge. Readers of each author will find much to appreciate in the other. -- Katherine Johnson
Jim Butcher and Lois McMaster Bujold write fantasy and science fiction filled with nuanced characters, political intrigues, and seemingly impossible moral dilemmas, though honor and integrity always prevail. Both write epic, long-form storytelling where seemingly trivial details in one book reveal themselves as part of a grand story arc several books later. -- Jessica Zellers
Like F. Paul Wilson, Jim Butcher sets his dark fantasy Harry Dresden series in an urban setting where supernatural evil lurks just under the radar of the average citizen. Readers of Wilson will love how Butcher convincingly intermingles the real and the fantastic, his well-developed characters, and his well-plotted storylines. -- Becky Spratford
Laurell K. Hamilton and Jim Butcher write about likeable characters in fast-moving plots with zippy dialogue, melding mystery and horror elements. Readers will find the romantic element often present in Hamilton's work to be rarer in Butcher's. -- Krista Biggs
The (mis)adventures of Glen Cook's beleaguered private eye, Garrett - who ekes out his living among orcs, vampires, and more - strike a charmingly depreciating, laconic, and hardboiled tone that may please fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden novels. Both writers' more traditional fantasy works feature multi-faceted protagonists and unusual worldviews. -- Kim Burton
Carrie Vaughn's werewolf late-night radio talk show host, Kitty Norville, is another series protagonist with appeal for Harry Dresden fans. Recounting her adventures in a wry, sometimes whiny, first-person voice, Kitty gradually comes to grips with life as a quasi-celebrity (and target). -- Kim Burton
