Book Description

From Publishers Weekly
Modesitt (The Lord Protector's Daughter) launches a trilogy set in a
brand new world with this straightforward, exposition-heavy story. Apprentice
portraitist Rhennthyl finds out the hard way that he has the magical
ability called Imaging: an explosion kills his master right after Rhenn
wishes for just such an event. Rhenn's ability, which allows him to
form objects from thin air and slay with a glance, appears to be quite
strong, and he begins training as a covert operative. Just when he starts
to relax into his new career, an unknown assassin tries to kill him.
This uncomplicated narrative feels like a prequel, with plenty of setup
but not much action. Readers will look to future installments for the
derring-do promised by Rhenn's martial studies and frequent mentions
of stormy international politics.
From Booklist
is a journeyman portrait painter, perhaps two years from becoming a
master. One afternoon, his master is killed in a sudden fire, and Rhenn
and make them real. He must join the Collegium of Imagisle, where imagers
are taught and protected, too, because of the risk they run of unwittingly
making their nightmares real. Though living apart from the rest of society,
imagers do valuable, if secret, work for their country. Hence, they
are prone, collectively and individually, to making enemies. Rhennthyl
makes one early on, fighting a bully. Modesitt has drawn a world intriguing
enough by itself and thoroughly integrated the magic of imaging into
it. The characters are real people, learning and struggling and dealing
with their families. Rivetingly beginning a new series, Imager Portfolio,
this is thoroughly absorbing, whetting the appetite for the next installment.

Book Description
Imager is the beginning of a whole new fantasy in a whole new magical
world from the bestselling creator of Recluce. Although Rhennthyl is
the most powerful nation on Terahnar, he has spent years becoming a
journeyman artist and is skilled and diligent enough to be considered
moment, his entire life is transformed when his master patron is killed
in the entire world of Terahnar who can visualize things and make them
real.
He must leave his family and join the Collegium of Imagisle. Imagers
live separately from the rest of society because of their abilities
(they can do accidental magic even while asleep), and because they are
both feared and vulnerable. In this new life, Rhenn discovers that all
brings a new threat to his life. He makes a powerful enemy while righting
a wrong, and begins to learn to do magic in secret. Imager is the innovative
and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story.
