A brag made in anger finds Rune at risk of death, unless she can keep the Ghost of Skull Hill enthralled. It’s a musical performance that could end in death or the beginning of a whole new life.
When Idra, leader of the crack mercenaries known as the Sunhawks, failed to return from a journey to her home kingdom of Rethwellan, Tarma and Kethry, warrior and mage, set out in search of their vanished leader. Sisters of sword and apell, their fates bound together by a Goddess-sworn oath, they were eternally pledged to fight the forces of evil.
Heralds Mags and Amily’s son Tory must follow in his parents’ footsteps to protect both his family and the realm with the help of the young Prince Kyril.
The long-awaited founding of Valdemar comes to life in this new subseries in the Valdemar universe from Mercedes Lackey.
The alliance between the Haighlei and the peoples of White Gryphon has solidified with White Gryphon protecting, exploring, more of the land. It’s been a satisfying task until . . .
The peoples of Silver Gryphon are surprised by a demand by the Haighlei to leave their empire’s territory. Instead they form an embassy to negotiate an alliance among a people resistant to change and with a hatred and fear of magic only to encounter murders and betrayals.
United by sword-spell and the will of the Goddess, Tarma and Kethry swore a blood oath to carry on their mutual fight against evil. And together, swordmaster and sorceress set forth to fulfill their destiny . . .
