The dream of a kingdom becomes reality—but the real challenge is keeping it alive.
In Valdemar, the long-awaited finale to Mercedes Lackey’s Founding of Valdemar trilogy, the refugees from the Empire have built Haven into a thriving city with help from the Tayledras. But now their allies are retreating to the Pelagirs, and the fledgling nation faces new threats alone.
Dark magicians, elemental corruption, and rogue magic-users threaten the land’s fragile peace. Desperate, Kordas calls on every god he knows—and receives an answer no one could have predicted.
A prayer becomes a turning point. A Companion appears. And a legacy begins.
Valdemar delivers epic fantasy at its most foundational—a sweeping origin story that brings one of fantasy’s most beloved realms full circle.
