For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against
the aggressive and threatening 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 High Lords plot and maneuver 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, the boy 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, he will discover that his destiny is much
greater than he could ever imagine." Caught in a storm of deadly
wind furies, Tavi saves the life of a runaway slave named Amara.
But she is actually a spy for Gaius Sextus, sent to the Valley to
gather intelligence on traitors to the Crown, who may be in league
with the barbaric Marat horde. And when the Valley erupts in chaos
- when rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies -
Amara will find Tavi's courage and resourcefulness to be a power
greater than any fury - one that could turn the tides of war.
