Although there's a major unanswered question throughout the midst of this series (why she can't communicate with her Companion when he has the gift to communicate with any Herald), it's a good trilogy from Mercedes Lackey. The kingdom of Valdemar is a new personal favorite vacation spot. For the sensitive reader, beware of liaisons and slightly looser morals than you usually find in fantasy.

That said, I devoured them. I loved them. Great trilogy.

The final part in this series. A very good read.

I picked up this book to complete this trilogy of Valdemar. I found the first two books good reads, but I haven't had a chance to go back and finish this one. Rather than let this get dusty on my shelf while I go through my big To Be Read pile, I thought I'd post it for someone else to enjoy.

With Elspeth, the heir to the throne of Valdemar, come of marriageable age, Talia, the Queen's Own Herald returns to court to find Queen and heir beset by diplomatic intrigue as various forces vie for control of Elspeth's future. But just as Talia is about to uncover the traitor behind all these intrigues, she is sent on a mission to the neighboring kingdom, chosen by the Queen to investigate the worth of a marriage proposal from Prince Ancar. And to her horror, Talia soon discovers there is far more going on at Prince Ancar's court than just preparation for a hoped-for royal wedding. For a different magic than that of the Heralds is loose in Ancar's realm-an evil and ancient sorcery that may destroy all of Valdemar unless Talia can send warning to her Queen in time!

This was a great end to the trilogy. I loved all 3.

Part of the Valdemar series, Herald Talia on a diplomatic mission.
