Cursor’s Fury is the third book in Jim Butcher’s fantasy series, Codex Alera, and the sequel to Academ’s Fury.

Tavi is now a cursor, a special agent of the First Lord. Planted undercover in a newly-formed legion, Tavi suddenly becomes its leader when all the other officers are as­sas­si­nat­ed, just as an invading force of Canim have landed nearby. Meanwhile, his aunt Isana, is trapped in a besieged city, when one of the High Lords, Kalare, attempts a coup. Isana’s brother Bernard and his wife Amara lead an attack against Kalare.

Exciting and en­ter­tain­ing, with almost every chapter ending in a cliffhang­er for one of the principals.
