About the book: 1999 / This is the world of Waldemar. A world in which HUMAN magic has long become an ally of the magic of REASONABLE ANIMALS. A world where each of the sorcerers must find a magical horse - Sputnik. A world where beyond the boundaries of human lands lies another land - the land of wizards who choose birds as Brothers. This is the world of Valdemar. The most beautiful of the worlds of “sword and magic”. A world in which courage, bravery—and loyalty—are valued above all else. Loyalty to friends who will stand next to you against Dark magic, which again and again finds its way to Valdemar... A world in which a young girl from a tiny village of fanatical “strong believers” lost somewhere in the borderland will find her destiny in magic - and one day she will become the greatest of The Heralds of Valdemar...Read the trilogy by Mercedes Lackey - one of the greatest fantasy authors of our day!..
