Furies
of Calderon
In
the realm of Alera, where people bond with the furies-elementals of
earth, air, fire, water, and metal-fifteen-year-old Tavi struggles with
his lack of furycrafting. But when his homeland erupts in chaos-when
rebels war with loyalists and furies clash with furies-Tavi's simple
courage will turn the tides of war.
Academ's
Fury
For one 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, the unity of the Alerians hangs
in precarious balance. The First Lord of Alera has fallen in his
efforts to protect his people from the vicious attacks of their
enemies. Now, the fate of the Alerians lies in the hands of Tavi, a
young man who must use all of his courage and resourcefulness to save
his people-and himself.
Cursor's
Fury
The power-hungry High Lord of Kalare has launched
a rebellion against the aging First Lord, Gaius Sextus, who with the
loyal forces of Alera must fight beside the unlikeliest of allies-the
equally contentious High Lord of Aquitaine.
Meanwhile, young Tavi
of Calderon joins a newly formed legion under an
assumed name even as the ruthless Kalare unites with the Canim, bestial
enemies of the realm whose vast numbers spell certain doom for Alera.
When treachery from within destroys the army's command structure, Tavi
finds himself leading an inexperienced, poorly equipped legion-the only
force standing between the Canim horde and the war-torn realm.
Captain's
Fury
After two years of bitter conflict with the
hordes of invading Canim, Tavi of Calderon, now Captain of the First
Aleran Legion, realizes that a peril far greater than the Canim
exists-the terrifying Vord, who drove the savage Canim from their
homeland. Now, Tavi must find a way to overcome the centuries-old
animosities between Aleran and Cane if an alliance is to be forged
against their mutual enemy. And he must lead his legion in defiance of
the law, against friend and foe-before the hammerstroke of the Vord
descends on them all.

Okay, okay.
So it's not a complex, metaphorical take on the providence of man or a
profound statement on the human condition. Get over yourself,
already. This world and these people are entertaining, fun
and believable. The three races of aliens so far introduced
are interesting, some are downright scarey. Tavi's terrific and
so are his aunt and uncle (I refuse to say more because I don't want to
spoil it for you). Jim Butcher spins an excellent, character
driven, yarn and you're a fool if you don't read 'em.
