Mags was a Herald of Valdemar. But he had once lived the brutal life of a child slave. When he was Chosen by his Companion Dallen, his young life was saved, and he slowly adjusted to being well fed, educated, and treasured as a trainee in the Herald's Collegium at Haven. Singled out by the King's Own Herald, Mags would thrive in his secret training as a spy. His unusually strong Gift - an ability to Mindspeak and Mindhear anyone, not just others who were Gifted - made him a perfect undercover agent for the king.

A sequel to Mercedes Lackey's Closer to Home, this adventure continues Mags' journey as Valdemar's herald spy. Cover art by Jody A. Lee.

The author has woven many disparate threads, each representing it's own story line - and then merges them all masterly together by the conclusion. I marvel at her imagination.

The narrator is fantastic! I have started other books that I subsequently put down because of the of the narration. He uses inflections of voice and accentuation to deftly portray each character's individuality. I don't think anyone could do a better job.

A fan of the heralds series. The first 3/4 of the bookcase excellent. The main villian of the book though felt a little weak and rushed through.

Excellent 4/5 stars

I enjoy a good Valdemar book. Someday I'd love to see a return of the Herald-Mages...

Vanyel is missed.

It's a Valdemar book.

becoming a bit more realistic problems but retains it's sense of Heraldic Glory, the desire to work to better the whole instead of the individual. the interplay between characters are much more realistic and character growth retains it's symmytry. not so much a story of a girl with a pony but a group dynamic. her writing is still much the same excellence it always had.
