A series of novels by Jim Butcher.  To my understanding - supposedly these books sprang from a debate over what was better in a story, great character development or a unique story idea.  Jim Butcher asked for two known story ideas and he said he would make an interesting story out of them using character development.

1) Furies of Calderon
2) Academ's Fury
3) Cursor's Fury
4) Captain's Fury
5) Princep's Fury
6) First Lord's Fury
For all the old gang at AmberMUSH and on Too.
We all wasted too much time together,
and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Wind howled over the rolling, sparsely wooded hills of the lands in care of the Marat, the One-and-Many people.
May contain spoilers
Miles followed the First Lord back up the steps to the palace, silently afraid of the future.

In Furies of Calderon, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher introduced readers to a world where the forces of nature take physical form. But now, it is human nature that threatens to throw the realm into chaos…

For centuries, the people of Alera have harnessed the furies - elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal - to protect their land from aggressors.  But no fury can save them from the dangers they face within.  A mysterious attack from across the sea has weakened the First Lord.  Should he fall, a bloody civil war is inevitable.  The responsibility of fending off assassination attempts and treachery within the First Lord’s circle of spies falls on Tavi, the one man with no fury to call...

"A fun romp of a book... The action is fast and furious." - SFRevu

"[A] cleverly constructed world." - Chronicle

"Solid world-building, intriguing characters, and vivid action." - Publishers Weekly

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
