This stand-alone novel in the Valdemar series continues the story of prickly weapons-master Alberich. Once a heroic Captain in the army of Karse, a kingdom at war with Valdemar, Alberich becomes one of Valdemar's Heralds. Despite prejudice against him, he becomes the personal protector of young Queen Selenay. But can he protect her from the dangers of her own heart?

First, I am writing this review for both Exile’s Honor and Exile’s Valor, since I think of them as a set. Second, I disagree with Audible’s decision to list the two books as books 4 and 5 in the Heralds of Valdemar series, as these two stories actually pre-date the story in the ‘Arrows of the Queen’ story both chronologically and by actual publish date. ‘Arrows of the Queen’ was the first Valdemar book, the other two were written years later.
Having said all that , I lived these two books. They filled in a number of the ‘back stories’ referred to in ‘Arrows of the Queen’, among other Valdemar books and gave much greater ‘life’ to some significant secondary characters from other books.
Now, if only Audible could get around to publishing ‘By The Sword’, another one of those ‘bridge’ books between other Valdemar series, one which I believe may be the best Valdemar book ever written.

Awesome Back Story Filler

Having read the first 3 books, I knew the end of this continuation of the “Prequel “. It made me pay special attention to details that I otherwise might have missed. It was a fun story

I love the way it unfolded

Alberich is one of my favorite characters. I love his back story and how he came to Valdemar. This also includes the year after the death of Selenay's father and her struggles. The narrator was great.

I will probably say this is a lot of reviews: The only way this audio book could have been better is if it was co-narrated.
Male voice actors rarely can pull off a convincing female voice, and vice versa.
Other than that, this is a superb performance of an excellent story.

Only one way it could be better.

This is one of my favorite series of books. This addition is well fleshed out and fills in some of the gaps historically even if was somewhat predictable plot wise. As always I will be looking forward to the next book in this series.

A wonderful series addition

the story was good, the audio quality was top notch, but was not happy with inconsistencies in pronunciations that changed line to line and was not consistent with the rest of the books in the series.

good story...
