This is a tale of a country massing its resources - armies, mages, magical beasts and healers; envoys and diplomats crossing borders to meet the unknown - for the war from the east. But on the western horizon, the true storm, one that hearkens from displaced time, is building. And how to deal with what are but the first cold flurries lies deep in the corrosive memories of a very scared young man...Mercedes Lackey's giant US success derives from an irresistible format: characters facing great trials, and in search of peace with themselves; a rich fantasy history of many chapters, and a place one can yearn to escape to; tales of adventure, magic, war and heroism that unfold across the breadth of a multi-book series as well as across individual novels. Mercedes Lackey already possesses a devoted following in the UK...

Industry Reviews

From Lackey (with Bill Dixon, The Black Gryphon, 1993) a starter for yet another sword-and-sorcery trilogy set, like her Mage Winds books, in Valdemar, though only experts will know where, chronologically, this one fits in. Charliss "the Immortal," Adept and Emperor of the Eastern Empire, dreams of conquering the West. However, his armies have been fought to a standstill in Hardorn, so he sends his putative successor, the Grand Duke Tremane, to remedy matters and complete the conquest. In neighboring Karse, meanwhile, the new High Priest, Solaris, has cast forth the evil demon-summoners, child-burners, and False Sons. And though for centuries the Karsites have demonized Valdemar's Herald-Mages and their horselike Companions, Solaris sends the powerful mage Ulrich and his secretary, Karal, to the Valdemaran Court. Here the long, slow process of forging a magical alliance to defeat the Eastern Empire gets underway, while violent storms sent by Tremane roll across the land. Valdemar devotees who delight in description and chat and the absence of action should feel perfectly at home. Non-fans and browsers will simply yawn and pass on. (Kirkus Reviews)
