Synopsis

Set in the beloved and New York Times bestselling world of Valdemar, this first book in a new trilogy returns to the tales of the majestic gryphons.

On the border between Valdemar and the deadly Pelagirs Forest, the gryphon hero Kelvren returns from a near-fatal self-sacrifice that won him the approval of Valdemar's ground troops, but caused a diplomatic crisis. Frustrated by his lack of a hero's welcome, Kelvren is talked into helping with an expedition by his old friend, Firesong.

Firesong struggles with his own age and mortality, and he intends to solve a vast mystery at the center of legendary Lake Evendim as his crowning achievement. Just getting the multicultural fleet underway is a challenge, but what awaits them is a situation none of them could expect.

I received an advance copy from DAW and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. As a longtime Lackey reader, I'm always excited for a new series, especially when it's set in a time period familiar to me in her Velgarth universe. This takes place after the Owlsight trilogy, and familiar faces from......more
