Seven years have passed since Orris, a mage of Tobyn-Ser's Order, returned from the violent chaos of Bragor-Nal. The threat of attack from Lon-Ser has been eliminated, but the establishment of trade between Tobyn-Ser and its western neighbor has brought new and disturbing changes to the land. Large tracts of woodland have been logged and sold off in exchange for more of Lon-Ser's "advanced goods." The Order and the League continue their struggle for supremacy, and a new force, a "People's Movement," has allied itself with so-called independent mages who claim no ties to either body.
In Lon-Ser, Melyor, the beautiful Gildriite who made herself Bragor-Nal's Sovereign, is nearly killed in an assassination attempt. Her ally, Shivohn, matriarch of Oerella-Nal, is herself killed by a similar attack. Treachery and betrayal lie at the heart of a plot that endangers not only Lon-Ser, but also Tobyn-Ser and its Mage-Craft.
When Jaryd, who has been unbound for months, finally binds to an eagle, he fears the worst, for throughout the history of Tobyn-Ser, the binding of a mage to an eagle has always been a harbinger of war. When Cailin, a League mage, binds to a second eagle, Jaryd fears that his land teeters on the brink of Civil War.
Crisis grips both lands. Can Melyor overcome an unseen enemy and a thousand years of prejudice to save Lon-Ser? Can Jaryd and Cailin bring peace to the mages of Tobyn-Ser in time to stop an old and emboldened enemy from destroying everything they hold dear?

"Coe's richly textured world, with its contrasting approaches to magic and science, provides a vivid background for the conclusion of an epic of war and change. -Library Journal "There's a satisfying wealth of ideas in EAGLE-SAGE in regard to relationships between people, countries, and contrasting value systems. Happily Coe doesn't shortchange expectations for action sequences as a consequence. Nor does he make it necessary for readers to consume the previous two books in the LonTobyn Chronicle. EAGLE-SAGE is a text capable of standing alone just as nicely as it does in a series. Background information concerning characters and events is very neatly embedded into the present storyline without any clunky asides. Coe's EAGLE-SAGE is a most enjoyable reading adventure into two contrasting societies-perhaps most so when its issues are making you most squeamish." 3 and 1/2 stars [out of 4]. -Fantastica Daily "Once again, all the elements that made the previous volumes so enjoyable are present in the final chapter of The LonTobyn Chronicle. The characterizations remain Coe's bread and butter, and once more he doesn't disappoint. The prose in this book is also up to the standard established by its predecessors . . . I recommend this series to all fantasy fans out there." -Pat's Fantasy Hotlist
