This first Valdemar anthology features 18 epic fantasy short stories set in a world of magic, intrigue, romance, and adventure—with tales by Mickey Zucker Reichert, Tanya Huff, Mercedes Lackey, and more!
Mercedes Lackey’s very first novel, Arrows of the Queen, introduced readers to the magical land of Valdemar. In this ancient realm, beset by war and internal conflicts, justice is dispensed by an elite force—the legendary Heralds. These unusual men and women, “chosen” from all corners of the kingdom by their mysterious horse-like Companions, undergo a rigorous training, and follow a rigid code of honor. Bonded for life with their Companions, the Heralds endeavor to keep the peace and, if necessary, defend their country in the name of their monarch.
Now, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Larry Dixon, Tanya Huff, Michelle Sagara, and others add their own special characters to the history of Valdemar. Meet with a Herald-assassin known only to the Queen . . . learn why in Karse, a question can be deadlier than any sword . . . and discover how for 2 life-bonded Heralds justice prevails over honor, in 18 original stories of valor and magic, including 3 co-authored by Mercedes Lackey herself.
