fantastic series
Very graphic powerful images
This is such a good book! Sad, but definitely the best of all three. I had forgotten some details, but not too much overall. I really loved re-reading this and I am looking forward to the rest - especially with some of her new books thrown into the mix!
Part of the Valdemar series, Herald-Mage Vanyel fights to save Valdemar from the the dark magic unleashed against the country.
A great read!
