After a bitter betrayal, the loyalist windcrafter Amara must flee for her life to Calderon, where further danger awaits.and an alliance with Tavi. Meanwhile, the Empire faces threats from within as well, with southern nobles plotting rebellion against the aging First Lord. Looked on with pity by some and contempt by others, Tavi must depend on his own wits and bravery to combat the threat of invasion by the barbarian Marat horde. All the people except for Tavi, a young man living at the edge of civilization in the remote Valley of Calderon, who is seemingly unable to call upon supernatural aid. The people of Alera are known for their ability to summon and command furies, elemental beings of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal-a power that has long protected the empire from the hostile forces outside its borders. The books of The Codex Alera are among the limited editions we are most frequently asked to publish, so we decided to produce Furies of Calderon, keeping the print run as low as we possibly could, to roughly half that of Jim’s Dresden Files novels. The book is housed in a custom slipcase, with variegated gold foil stamping on the side and spine. It features a full-color cover, two interior plates (one of them a gatefold), and is printed on 80# Finch. Welcome to our surprise Jim Butcher limited edition, which is in stock and ready to ship.
