The Saga of Recluce

The Saga of Recluce is a fantasy series written by L.E. Modesitt, Jr., and his most successful series to date.

Based in a world where two forces, known as chaos and order, are constantly in conflict to balance one another, it is, like many of L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s works, a world of layered social, mystical, and ideological conflicts, all twisted and mixed together in often unexpected ways. It's characters are often the lynchpins of the eras in which they live, becoming part of conflicts they would prefer to avoid, forced to terrible actions in order to prevent even more suffering and death in the long run.
