Storm Rising by Mercedes Lackey
Blurb: Mage Storms book 2. Mysterious mage-storms are wreaking havoc on Valdemar, Karse, and all the kingdoms of the West,
plaguing these lands not only with disastrous earthquakes, monsoon, and ice storms, but also with venomous magical constructs-terrifying creatures out of nightmare. Both Valdemar and Karse struggle to marshall their combined magical resources to protect their realms from these devastrating onslaughts. And when Karal, the young Karsite envoy to the court of Valdemar is wrongfully accused of collusion with the enemy, only the personal intervention of Solaris, High Priestess and Ruler of Karse can defuse the explosive situation.
I hate to say it but I got to a point in this one where I really enjoyed reading about Tremane and his struggles within Hardon than the goings on in Valdemar. Valdemar and her allies have some protection from the storms at this point, Hardon and the Empire don't so his struggles with the weather, magic constructs, and the Empires perceived abandonment were more interesting.
