This is the second book in a trilogy. All of the Valdemar books are wonderful. They fit into the Science fiction fantasy category.
I love this trilogy! very easly quick read.
Talia has finally achieved the rank of Herald, and must now prove herself in the field for a year-and-a-half. She is partnered with Kris, a handsome young Herald. As she sets out, seeds of self-doubt are sown in Talia's mind when Kris talks to her about her unusual Heraldic Gift of Empathy as a favor to his power-hungry uncle. The doubt eats away at her, slowly eroding her control over her Gift, and unleashing a dangerous force that Talia must learn to control if she is to assume her place as Queen's Own Herald...
Talia could scarcely believe that she had finally earned the rank of full Herald. Yet though this seemed like the fulfillment of all her dreams, it also meant she would face trials far greater than those she had previously survived. For now Talia must ride forth to patrol the kindom of Valdemar, dispensing Herald justice throughout the land.

But in this realm beset by dangerouse unrestenforcing her rulings would require all the courage and skill Talia could command- for if she misused her own special powers, both she and Caldemar would pay the price!

book 2 of the heralds of Valdemar
Part of the Valdemar series, Herald Talia learns a herald's duty.
The 2nd book, which I read on a plane from San Francisco back home (via Detroit) was an equally pleasant read, as was the first book in the series.
Nothing out of the ordinary here, but it was a good, straightforward read, not overtaxing the brain in the slightest.
