The eleventh anthology of short stories set in Mercedes
Lackey's beloved Valdemar universe features stories by debut
and established authors and a brand-new story from Lackey
herself
The Heralds of Valdemar are the kingdom’s ancient order of
protectors. They are drawn from all across the land, from
all walks of life, and at all ages—and all are Gifted with
abilities beyond those of normal men and women. They are
Mindspeakers, FarSeers, Empaths, ForeSeers, Firestarters,
FarSpeakers, and more. These inborn talents—combined with
training as emissaries, spies, judges, diplomats, scouts,
counselors, warriors, and more—make them indispensable to
their monarch and realm. Sought and Chosen by mysterious
horse-like Companions, they are bonded for life to these
telepathic, enigmatic creatures. The Heralds of Valdemar and
their Companions ride circuit throughout the kingdom,
protecting the peace and, when necessary, defending their
land and monarch.
Now, twenty-three authors ride with Mercedes Lackey to her
magical land of Valdemar, adding their own unique voices to
the Heralds, Bards, Healers, and other heroes of this
beloved fantasy realm.
Join Janny Wurts, Elisabeth Waters, Michele Lang, Fiona
Patton, and others in twenty-four original stories,
including a brand-new novella by Mercedes Lackey, all set in
Valdemar, where:
A young woman without any of the Heralds’ Gifts must see a
Companion safely delivered to Haven....
A Herald must revisit the mysteries of his childhood to save
his own young family and combat a threat at the very heart
of Valdemar....
A Hawkbrother flees for his life, trailed by a mysterious
bird that prophesizes a dire future....
A mage must choose whether to steal a priceless artifact and
be branded a thief and traitor, or let his country fall to
magic that could prove far more deadly....
