Fifteen years ago, Mercedes Lackey put pen to paper to write
Arrows Of The Queen, her first novel about Valdemar, a fantasy
kingdom replete with magical races and magical creatures, enemies
and allies both sorcerous and mundane. This ancient land of mystery
is unique even among fantasy realms, for it is protected by an
elite corps -- the Heralds. These men and women gifted with
extraordinary mind powers are Chosen by, and bonded with, wondrous
horselike beings known as Companions. Brought by their Companions
from the length and breadth of Valdemar to Haven, Valdemar's
capital city, they are trained in a special school, the Collegium,
and devote their lives to protecting king and kingdom.
Mindspeakers, FarSeers, FarSpeakers, Firestarters, ForeSeers --
their individual talents are as varied as their backgrounds. There
are even those who can channel the magical nodes in the earth
itself to use for their own purposes. Garbed in their uniforms of
white leather, they patrol their territory, dispensing justice and
keeping the peace. They are emissaries, spies, diplomats, scouts,
warriors, judges, and counselors.
With eighteen novels published, and millions of copies in print,
Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series has won the hearts of countless
readers. In response to overwhelming demand on the part of her many
fans, veteran editors John Helfers and Denise Little now present
The Valdemar Companion. With the help and guidance of Mercedes
Lackey, Helfers and Little have compiled a reader's guide to
Mercedes Lackey's best-selling world of Valdemar. Included in this
comprehensive work is an all-original Mercedes Lackey Valdemar
novella, as well as an essay by Lackey about Valdemar, and

races and kingdoms, a substantial concordance containing entries on
every major character, device and setting, and including articles
on the magical races and creatures, a chapter on the diverse
Valdemar fan clubs, and a section devoted to the songs of Valdemar,
