Blurb:
Set in the beloved and New York Times bestselling world of
Valdemar, this 1st book in a new trilogy returns to the tales of the majestic
gryphons.
On the border between Valdemar and the deadly
Pelagirs Forest, the gryphon hero Kelvren returns from a near-fatal
self-sacrifice that won him the approval of Valdemar’s ground troops, but
caused a diplomatic crisis. Frustrated by his lack of a hero’s welcome,
Kelvren is talked into helping with an expedition by his old friend, Firesong.
Firesong struggles with his own age and mortality,
and he intends to solve a vast mystery at the center of legendary Lake Evendim
as his crowning achievement. Just getting the multicultural fleet underway is a
challenge, but what awaits them is a situation none of them could expect.
My review:
Gather ye round to hear the start of an epic quest filled with
fantastic beings, magic and danger. In this tale we rejoin some old friends and
make some new friends on their way to confront the unknown. An unknown that may
very well destroy life as they know it.
This is why I love Mercedes Lackey. Great characters,
fantastic world building and a tale that sucks you in and makes it so you don’t
want to leave.
