James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish mathematical physicist whose work fundamentally altered our understanding of electricity, magnetism, and optics. He formulated the key equations describing these phenomena as manifestations of a single electromagnetic field. His discoveries demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields propagate through space as waves at the speed of light, thereby unifying light with electrical phenomena and predicting the existence of radio waves. Maxwell's pioneering work laid the groundwork for modern physics, including special relativity and quantum mechanics, and his influence on 20th-century physics is compared to that of Newton and Einstein.

Chloe's quest to escape the Oracle's prophecy leads her to a magus with a secret: the eldren are not the only race to use magic in warfare. An ancient power is rediscovered, race to use magic in warfare. An ancient power is rediscovered, and a forgotten people will return. Meanwhile, cursed by his and a forgotten people will return. Meanwhile, cursed by his birth, Dion tries to forge a new life at sea, away from both the eldren and his former life in Xanthos. But the one thing he can't leave behind is his heritage.

The epic conclusion to James Maxwell's gripping fantasy series. The world is facing a war to end all wars, a confrontation that will destroy everything Dion and Chloe hold dear. With Palemon's dragon army growing in number, time is running out... Dion is doing everything in his power to prepare his kingdom, but he knows it will not be enough. Although he needs Chloe's help, recent tragedy makes him terrified for her safety. Magic is dangerous. Only Palemon is too arrogant to see it. As chaos engulfs the land and Palemon risks civilization itself, Dion and Chloe must unite people of all nations to have any chance of survival.
"The Lord of the Night is coming. The future of civilization is at stake. Miro, High Lord of Altura, is in the Imperial capital to prepare the Empire for the onslaught. He knows his homeland lies directly in the enemy's path but struggles to form the alliances he needs. As the high lords bicker, Ella seeks the help of the newly crowned emperor, Killian. But, amid the growing tensions, their responsibilities drive them apart and, as emperor, Killian can't be seen to favor Ella's homeland. Against a backdrop of old hurts, guilty secrets, and shaky new allegiances, people of all nations and abilities must learn to trust one another again, and form a united front against a powerful enemy intent on destroying them once and for all"--P.
