The wild magic is taking its toll on the land, and even Vanyel, the most powerful Herald-Mage to ever walk the world, is almost at the end of his strength. But when his Companion, Yfandes, receives a call for help from neighboring Lineas, both Herald-Mage and Companion are drawn into a holocaust of dark magic that could be the end of them both.

I read The Last Herald Mage Trilogy in the 1990s; it was a gateway to the beautiful, fanciful, and immersive world of Mercedes Lackey. I recently had the privilege of listening to Gregory St. John narrate the outstanding, unabridged recordings of Magic's Pawn, Magic's Promise, and Magic's Price. His excellent narration adds an additional dimension to the already multi-faceted universe of Herald Vanyel in Valdemar. I cannot recommend this series highly enough!

Outstanding audiobook!!

I first discovered Valdemar in elementary school. I am a grown woman and coming back to this series I have been realizing just how much Mercedes Lackey shaped the type of adult I would become. Through Valdemar, she taught me to accept other faiths, cultures, and to be tolerant of ways of life that are different from my own. I am incredibly grateful for the lessons I learned. I know some people don't appreciate Vanyel because he doesn't fit what people want a gay main character to be now, but I think he is kinda perfect.

Love This Series
