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 kingdomâ??s ancient order of protectors. They are drawn from all across the land, from all walks of life, and at all agesâ??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 talentsâ??combined with training as emissaries, spies, judges, diplomats, scouts, counselors, warriors, and moreâ??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 Heraldsâ?? 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… (altro)
I like the books Mercedes Lackey writes, she is good at creating a believable world and people to populate it. While her writing is not the strongest I do find it engaging ang and enjoyable. I like a series I can live inside of and her books are ones that have characters I feel invested in and a world I believe could exist. ( )
The latest collection of short fiction set in the Valdemar universe. There are several stories in here from returning contributors that continue the lives of characters they have written about in previous collections. The nice thing is that the reader still isn’t lost if they haven’t read the previous ones, but it is a nice little bit of extra for the dedicated fan. Overall this is a typical collection that covers both Heralds and non-Heralds and things that happen both within the kingdom and without.
