Being the son of a spy is one thing. Training to become one is another entirely.
Peregrine—Perry to his friends—has big dreams. He wants to follow in his father Mags’ footsteps as a Herald Spy. He has the Gift of Animal Mindspeech, a quick mind, and the perfect mentor. There’s just one problem: he hasn’t been Chosen by a Companion yet.
When strange disappearances plague a rural region near the Pelagirs, Mags sees the perfect opportunity for real-world experience. He takes Perry along to investigate, hoping to teach—and test—his son. But the clues are stranger than expected, and the local wildlife hints at something far darker.
The Hills Have Spies begins a new Valdemar trilogy filled with espionage, family dynamics, magical creatures, and mounting danger.
