It seems as if the spell is weakening, leaving Valdemar exposed. There hasn’t been one in Valdemar since Vanyel died hundreds of years ago, and he was so afraid a mage would attack Valdemar that he set a spell that drives any mages who enter Valdemar insane. When the Heralds realize Prince Ancar, who has attacked Valdemar twice already, is able to magic in assassins, Elspeth realizes Valdemar needs its own mage. Her practice is worth it, as shortly thereafter an assassination attempt is made on her life. The novel begins with Elspeth training with armsmaster Herald Kerowyn and Herald Skif.
We did a side step and read By the Sword, a stand-alone novel about a mercenary named Kerowyn.
Next, we read THE LAST HERALD MAGE trilogy, which is all about Vanyel. First we read THE HERALDS OF VALDEMAR trilogy starring Talia. We talk about all sorts of things, but the Valdemar books get more complicated the further you read into Lackey’s world, and having someone on the same page - sometimes literally - is amazing.
We are now on the 7th book of #ReadingValdemar! I love how this buddy read has given Jackie and I something in common to talk about.
