       magical land of Valdemar, adding their own unique voices 
       to the Heralds, Bards, Healers, and other heroes of this 
       beloved fantasy realm. The Heralds of Valdemar are the 
       kingdom's ancient order of protectors. They are drawn from
       all across the land, from all walks of life, and at all 
       ages--and all are Gifted with abilities beyond those of 
       normal men and women. They are Mindspeakers, FarSeers, 
       Empaths, ForeSeers, Firestarters, FarSpeakers, and more. 
       These inborn talents--combined with training as emissaries,
       spies, judges, diplomats, scouts, counselors, warriors, 
       and more--make them indispensable to their monarch and 
       realm. Sought and Chosen by mysterious horse-like 
       Companions, they are bonded for life to these telepathic, 
       enigmatic creatures. The Heralds of Valdemar and their 
       Companions ride circuit throughout the kingdom, protecting
       the peace and, when necessary, defending their land and 
       monarch. Now, twenty-three authors ride with Mercedes 
       Lackey to her magical land of Valdemar, adding their own 
       unique voices to the Heralds, Bards, Healers, and other 
       heroes of this beloved fantasy realm. Join Elizabeth 
       Vaughan, Fiona Patton, Jennifer Brozek, Brenda Cooper, 
       Rosemary Edghill, and others in twenty-two original 
       stories, including a brand-new novella by Mercedes Lackey,

       a historic tapestry in order to arbitrate a dispute over
