The Complete Arrows Trilogy

Available in a single volume for the first time, Mercedes Lackey's debut trilogy of Valdemar! The Complete Arrows Trilogy contains the three extraordinary novels that launched Mercedes Lackey's remarkable career and sparked the imaginations of millions of readers across the world. The Arrows trilogy tells the story of Talia, a daughter of the repres­sive Holderfolk, who is Chosen by the immortal Companion Rolan to become one of the legendary Heralds of Valdemar. Companions like Rolan are mystical horse-like beings with powers beyond imagining-including the power to sense an awakening potential for special talents of the mind in certain young men and women, like Talia. With Rolan's help, Talia will learn to master her unique mental abilities of telepathy and empathy, and will grow from an uncertain and inexperienced Herald trainee to become the most important Herald of all: the Queen's Own. And together, Talia and Rolan will fight to protect the queen, the heir to the throne, and the entire kingdom-from dangerous conspiracies, looming unrest, vicious treachery, and even an evil and ancient sorcery beyond the magic of the Heralds themselves. von Lackey, Mercedes
