Forging the Sword by Hilari Bell
Jiann, Kavi, and Soraya have formed an uneasy alliance. Jiann has become commander of the rebel Farsalan army. Soraya has learned the Suud way of manipulating the elements, a handy skill when fighting the implacable Hrum. But Kavi has the most challenging job of all. He must find a way to make a sword that can withstand the "watersteel" of the Hrum. This book reminds me in some ways of the first "Red Dawn" movie (young teens holding out against an invading army) but without the high body count. A satisfying read. 624 pages.
