Magic's Promise

About “Magic's Promise”

A groundbreaking epic fantasy series set in Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar universe features Lambda-Award winning novels that blend heartfelt high adventure with magic. Wild magic is causing widespread destruction, and many Heralds and Herald-Mages have died trying to maintain peace. Vanyel, one of the most powerful Herald-Mages, is nearly exhausted from fighting war and dark magic and needs rest. However, he cannot afford to stop when his Companion, Yfandes, receives a dire summons about a magical holocaust in a neighboring kingdom. Vanyel and Yfandes rush to the scene, overwhelmed by the devastation they find. They must uncover the mystery behind the destruction. Is it the young Prince Tashir, a newly Chosen Herald who cannot control his magic, or is Tashir being used in a larger, more dangerous scheme? Vanyel must find the true source of the dark magic before it strikes again.
