In Valdemar, every season brings new challenges—and new chances for heroism.
Seasons, the thirteenth anthology in Mercedes Lackey’s beloved Valdemar universe, gathers twenty-three original stories from debut and established fantasy authors. From wintry circuits to summer court politics, these tales follow Heralds, Bards, Healers, and Companions through the shifting rhythms of duty, destiny, and magic.
Whether it’s a Mindspeaker navigating springtime tensions or a Firestarter caught in a storm of autumn intrigue, each story offers a glimpse into the kingdom’s heart across the turning of the year. With a brand-new story from Mercedes Lackey herself, this collection celebrates the enduring power of courage—no matter the weather.
In Valdemar, heroes rise in all seasons. You just have to know when to ride out.
