Epilogue

1 here won't be any great mages in the future," Kharl said, standing on the front porch and looking out at the small harbor of Cantyl-his harbor, or his and Jeka's. "I had trouble stopping rifle bullets when a whole company was firing. Before long, they'll start building bigger cannon with soft iron shells, maybe even black iron shells. Then they'll build something bigger, because the next Emperor of Hamor, or the one after that, or the one after that, can't stand the thought that someone stopped Hamor from grabbing another land."

"Doesn't matter," Jeka said, squeezing his hand. "Always someone making trouble. You fixed things now. When the time comes, folks then, they'll have to fix things for themselves."

"I suppose so."

"You've done enough. 'Sides no one's going to bother Lord Ghrant so long as you're his mage. Folks are stupid, but not many stupid enough to get you after them."

"I didn't really create all that chaos," Kharl pointed out. "The chaos-wizards did."

Jeka laughed, the musical laugh that he loved so much. "Who knows that, except you and me?"

Kharl squeezed her hand back and looked at the smooth silver of the harbor water, calm in the late fall evening.

Praise for

L. E. Modesitt, Jr», and

the Saga of Reduce

"More than a story about the battle between good and

evil, the Saga of Reduce is as rich and complex a cre

ation as Tolkien's Middle-earth."-BookPage

"Marked by high intelligence. A powerful, educated, serious, and understated imagination is plainly at work in this latest entry to a saga that is beginning to take on the complexity... of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time cycle." -Publishers Weekly on Colors of Chaos

"Modesitt has established himself with his Reduce

series as one of the best '90s writers of fantasy. The

fantasies are characterized by a highly developed and

consistent system of magic." -Vector

"As usual, Mr. Modesitt provides masterful characterization, exquisitely subtle plot development, and a breathlessly exciting conclusion for an outstanding reading experience."

Praise for Wellspring of Chaos

"Modesitt's excellent new story has thought-provoking underpinnings that will snare newcomers as well as old Reduce hands."

-Booklist

"Modesitt's twelfth Reduce fantasy, his first since 2001's Scion of Cyador, delights from start to finish-A Page 427

welcome new chapter in the Reduce saga, with the ending all but promising a sequel."

-Publishers Weekly

ORDERMASTER

is the thirteenth book in the Saga of Reduce and the direct sequel to Wellspring of Chaos. The cooper Kharl is now a powerful order mage. He has no sooner taken possession of Cantyl, the estate bestowed upon him by Lord Ghrant, ruler of Austra, than he is summoned back to Valmurl, the capital, to aid Lord Hagen, the lord-chancellor, in dealing with rebellious lords.

After a bloody campaign, in which Kharl discovers and is forced to use even more deadly order magery, civil order is restored and Ghrant's throne is firmly secured. But Kharl is now a famous and feared public figure, the Lord's Mage.

Kharl is requested to return to his homeland of Nordla as an envoy, because there is no
