Beneath the tranquil lands of Valdemar, stories of courage, magic, and legacy stir once more.
Under the Vale gathers original tales from beloved fantasy authors—including Tanya Huff, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Fiona Patton, Judith Tarr, Rosemary Edghill, and more—as they explore new adventures set in Mercedes Lackey’s legendary realm. From Heralds defending the kingdom to new Chosens grappling with unexpected power, these stories shine a light on the quiet heroism and enduring strength that define Valdemar.
At the heart of the anthology is a brand-new novella by Mercedes Lackey herself, returning readers to the world where justice rides on four hooves and honor is forged in trial.
This is where bonds are tested, Gifts awakened, and the next legend begins—just under the Vale.
