The Magic Engineer by L.E. Modesitt Jr.5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Megaera is a White witch, a chaos mage, and her sister has had her bound in iron chains since she came of age. The Marshall bucked tradition by allowing Creslin to train with the female guards of Westwind, who are among the best in the world. Both Westwind and Sarronnyn are western countries of Candar that subscribe to the Legend, which is essentially a garbled creation myth that provides the basis for their matriarchical societies. ![]() ![]() Creslin is the son of the Marshall of Westwind Megaera is the sister of the Tyrant of Sarronnyn. With The Towers of Sunset, Modesitt returns to the Recluce saga in prequel form: this is the founding of Recluce by Creslin and his somewhat-reluctant partner, Megaera. I associate the word "Recluce" with memories of being curled up in a massive armchair in the living room, rain streaming down the windows outside, cradling a massive 600- or 800-page hardcover book in my hands. I consider the Recluce saga among the "formative fantasy series" of my youth. It's been almost two years since I re-read The Magic of Recluce. ![]()
