Book Description:
Granddaughter of the sorceress Kethry, daughter of a noble house, Kerowyn had been forced to run the family keep since her mother's untimely death. Yet now at last her brother was preparing to wed, and when his bride became the lady of the keep, Kerowyn could return to her true enjoyments - training horses and hunting.

But all Kerowyn's hopes and plans were shattered when her anscestral home was attacked, her father slain, her brother wounded, and his fiancee kidnapped. Driven by desperation and the knowledge that a sorcerer had led the attack, Kerowyn set off on a journey which would prove but the first step on the road to the fulfillment of her destiny.

Of all the Valdemar books I've read, this is probably my least favorite (along with "Arrows of the Queen" trilogy). With her being in a mercenary guild, you'd think it'd be a little more exciting, but it was just incredibly dull.

A book the includes the Heralds but is about someone else - weaves well with the other series

Another great read by Lackey. I've already begun the "winds" trilogy to continue Kero's tale...

Swords, warriors, mages, and tales, this woman warrior will take you along on her journey to awaken her powers of magic.

Great story in the Valdemar series. It's like reading 3 books in one and with a very surprising ending.

I enjoy all the Valdemar-related stuff. I learned the song itself before I read the book.

Kerowyn is one of my favorite of the Valdemar characters. This book doesn't disappoint--at least from my point of view.

Part of the Valdemar series, Kerowyn becomes a warrior to avenge the attack of her ancestral home.
