From inner cover flap:
   The biggest fantasy from L. E. Modesitt, Jr., to date, Colors of Chaos
is the story of the White Chaos wizard Cerryl: his education in life and
love and his rise to power in the magicians' guild of Fairhaven. This is
the direct sequel to The White Order, which told of Cerryl's boyhood and
youth, and it takes place at the same time as the events in Modesitt's
earlier novel The Magic Engineer. Yet it stands alone, a portrayal of the
growth and change of character and of the strengths and weaknesses of an
age-old civilization held together by the power of magic.
   Cerryl, now a full mage in the White Order, must prove himself
indispensable to Jeslek, the High Wizard. Whether through assassination,
effective governance of occupied territory, or the fearless and clever
direction of troops in battle, Cerryl faces many harrowing obstacles, not
the least of which is Anya, the plotting seductress who's the real power
behind the scenes of the white wizards. With his wits, his integrity, and
the support of his love, the Black healer Leyladin, he must survive long
enough to claim his rightful spot within the ruling hierarchy of the
White Order.
   This is a must-read for followers of the Saga of Recluce, offering a
unique, sympathetic point of view of the White Chaos wizards-the forces
that throughout history have opposed the magicians of Recluce.
