Valdemar

Refugees who fled the Empire have built Haven into a prosperous city, aided by the Tayledras and their allies. Now the Tayledras are gradually pulling back toward the perilous Pelagirs, and the people of Haven must learn to manage without them.

Settling Haven has not made the surrounding country safe. The worst threat comes from sorcerers who draw on the rich magic of territory the Tayledras have purified, who serve dark powers without hesitation, and who bind magical creatures and the Elementals to their will. Kordas, his family and his people will need every bit of help they can find.

When Kordas prays to every god he has ever heard of, the answer he receives is aid of an unusual and unexpected kind, and it sends the young kingdom of Valdemar onto a course unlike any the world has seen. The third volume of the Founding of Valdemar trilogy tells the origin story of this fantasy realm, and it suits both longtime readers of Valdemar and newcomers discovering it for the first time.
