Books like Cursor's Fury (Codex Alera) by Jim Butcher
High Lord Kalare’s ambitions ignite a civil war in the realm of Alera as the aging First Lord Gaius Sextus struggles to hold the kingdom together. The disunited defenders, led by the unlikely High Lord of Aquitaine, find a new ally in the young Tavi of Calderon, who summons a fledgling legion under an assumed name. When Kalare allies with the ferocious Canim, the combined threat endangers Alera’s existence. Internal betrayal fractures the leadership, leaving Tavi to command an inexperienced and inadequately equipped army that stands as the realm’s last bulwark against the invading horde.
