Publisher's summary

With Elspeth, the heir to the throne of Valdemar, now of marriageable age, Talia, the Queen's Own Herald, returns to court. Here, she finds the Queen and heir beset by diplomatic intrigue as various forces vie for control of Elspeth's future.

But just as Talia is about to uncover the traitor behind all these intrigues, she is sent off on a mission to the neighboring kingdom, chosen by the Queento investigate the worth of a marriage proposal from Prince Ancar. And, to her horror, Talia soon discovers there is far more going on at Prince Ancar's court than just preparation for a hoped - for royal wedding. For a different magic than that of the Heralds is loose in Ancar's realm - an evil and ancient sorcery that may destroy all of Valdemar unless Talia can send warning to her Queen in time.

fantastic narrator

The narrator does an absolutely wonderful job, brings such life to these books that I was so fond of as a child. I couldn't stop listening and finished them in record time, though now I'm almost sorry I did.

Just as Good as I remember !

I've been recently meaning to reread this series over the last few years. Still a great story and it still brings tears to my eyes everytime I read it. If any story shows that Author's can pull the emotional heartstring of their readers this is one of them.

I love the new narrator, I'm glad that there is finally a complete set of an Audio version of this series. I hope to see Christa in more stories form Valdemar in the future!

The comfort food of books.

The whole series has long been a favorite, and I can't recall how many times I've read the books, so when the recording came out, I was thrilled. The performance did not disappoint and I'll be listening again. And again, and again.

Enjoyable listen

Was really looking for something easy to listen to and enjoy. Even the hard parts of the story was important to the telling.

one of the BEST!!

I would like to implore the author to please continue this series. I have the amount of run offs but I would like one more book to continue this into Elspeths reign. it just seems necessary, to me at least, to give more comfort to your readers! I'm at a total loss for words due to my tears of absolute frustration. this is an amazing author and series and is soooooooo worth anyone's attention! an absolute masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡

Arrows Of the Queen

This series, that I first read decades ago introduces Lackey’s world of Valdemar. Hearing it read by Christa Lewis added new depth to my love for these characters and this world.

My favorite trilogy of Valdemar!

Many years ago, this was my initial & first introduction to the world of Valdemar and their Heralds. I since have read every other book related, whether it took place in the past or future from this one or even in another country in the same world.

There are many that I like ALMOST as much but this is the trilogy I end up revisiting most often.

Thank you Mercedes Lackey!

Very Few Books Make Me Cry

This series of three books is incredible and I will listen to them over and over again. Imaginative, entertaining, gripping and so enjoyable.
