Five Hundred Years After

At last, the sequel to Brust's glittering besteller, The Phoenix Guards: Five Hundred Years After.
In which our heroes, Khaavren, Pel, Aerich and Tazendra, are reunited again a mere five centuries later...just in time for an uprising that threatens to destroy the Imperial Orb itself!
This is the story of the conspiracy against the Empire that begins in the mean streets of Underside and flourishes in the courtly politics of the Palace where Khaavren has loyally served in the Guards this past half-millennium.
It is the tale of the Dragonlord Adron's overweening schemes, of his brilliant daughter Aliera, and of the eldritch Sethra Lavode.
And it is the tale of four boon companions, of love, and of revenge...a tale from the history of Dragaera, of the events taht changed the world.
This sequel to The Phoenix Guards sees the reuniting of Heroes Khaavren, Pel, Aerich and Tazendra 500 years later. . . just in time for an uprising that threatens to destroy the Imperial Orb itself. A complex plot to which Brust does full justice . . . Highly recommended.--Booklist.
