Synopsis

In Imager, the first book of the Imager Portfolio, we met Rhennthyl, an apprentice portrait artist whose life was changed by a disastrous fire. But the blaze that took his master's life and destroyed his livelihood revealed a secret power previously dormant in Rhenn: the power of imaging—the ability to shape matter using thought. With some trouble, he adapts to the controlled life of an imager.

By Imager's Challenge, Rhenn has become a liaison to the local law forces. He finds himself in direct conflict with both authorities and national politics as he tries to uphold the law and do his best by the people of his home city.

Now, in Imager's Intrigue, Rhenn has come into his own. He has a wife and a young child, and a solid career as an imager. But he has made more than one enemy during his journey from apprentice painter to master imager, and even his great powers won't allow him to escape his past.

Goodreads review by Jim on March 22, 2017

March2017 Review: An excellent ending to a wonderful trilogy. Don't be fooled by there being a 4th book. This is the last one in this time (the latest in the series so far) about Rhenn. This definitely isn't a book to start with. Too many names & intrigues going on. Without reading the first two boo......more

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on August 02, 2013

I have liked almost everything I've ever read by Modesitt, some more than others but in general I find I can count on him for a good novel. This one (as well as the 2 earlier books in the series) was (were) no exception. We have followed the life and career of Rhenn (Rhennthyl) from the first book in......more
