Description

Groundbreaking epic fantasy series in Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar universe • Lambda-Award winning novels with heartfelt high adventure and magic

Though Vanyel has been born with near-legendary abilities to work both Herald and Mage magic, he wanted no part in such things. Nor does he seek a warrior’s path, wishing instead to become a Bard.

Yet such talent as his, if left untrained, may prove a menace not only to Vanyel but to others as well. So he is sent to be fostered with his aunt, Savil, one of the fame Herald-Mages of Valdemar.

But, strong-willed and self-centered, Vanyel is a challenge which even Savil cannot master alone. For soon he will become the focus of frightening forces, lending his raw magic to a spell that unleashes terrifying wyr-hunters on the land.

And by the time Savil seeks the assistance of a Shin’a’in Adept, Vanyel’s wild talent may have already grown beyond anyone’s ability to contain, placing Vanyel, Savil, and Valdemar itself in desperate peril.

This had potential. It really did but it was a lot of sadness and whining and it took almost 300 pages to get somewhere :(

This was a disappointing read. The high over all rating puzzles me still. The first 60% were awfully hard to get through due to insta-love and a completely unlikable main character. It only got better when we got to K'Treva. I have to say that the formatting of the Kindle edition was beyond awful. "1"s instead of "I"s, parts of sentences cursive where they shouldn't be, "steep" instead of "sleep" more than once and so on. I hope they have fixed it since I've bought my edition, because asking for money for such sloppy work is an insult to all customers.
