"Every war comes down to the flash of bright steel. Aranthur and his friends have come together across different continents and realms with one purpose: to strike back against the forces that have torn a hole in the heavens and threaten to rip the world apart. Ultimate victory will require enemies to trust one another, old foes to fight together, spies to reveal the truth, and steadfast allies to betray long-corrupt rulers. But will Aranthur, a twenty-year-old student, really be able to bring them all together? And what will they do when their plans inevitably fall to pieces? "Bright Steel" is the triumphant conclusion to Miles Cameron's "Masters & Mages" Trilogy." - Book Summary.
