"Spellbinding storyteller" (Rave Reviews) Mercedes Lackey continues her epic Valdemar series.
Magpie is a thirteen-year-old orphan chosen by one of the magical Companion horses of Valdemar and taken to the capital city, Haven, to be trained as a Herald. Like all Heralds, Magpie learns that he has a hidden Gift-the Gift of telepathy.
But life at the court is not without obstacles. When Mags is "recognized" by foreign secret operatives whose purpose is unknown, Mags himself comes under suspicion. Who are Magpie's parents-who is he, really? Can Mags solve the riddle of his parentage and his connection with the mysterious spies-and prove his loyalty-before the king and court banish him as a traitor?

Hardback. Etat : Good. Mags was an orphan and slave of ?bad blood? who toiled a gem mine all his young life. He would have died before adulthood, had he not been Chosen and taken to Haven to be trained in the new Herald Collegium.Now, Mags was never hungry and never cold. He slept in a real bed in his own room and, most importantly, he had Dallen, who was like another part of himself. And yet, aside from Lena and Bear, both loners like he was, he couldn?t relate to most of the Herald, Healer, or Bard trainees. He was the only trainee who came from what?to the others?was unimaginable poverty. There was another factor that contributed to Mag's isolation. Foreign assassins, masquerading at court as envoys were discovered. As they fled from the Guard, one of them seemed to ?recognize? Mags. Now, Mags was an object of suspicion.He had always been curious about his parents, but after the incident it became urgent for Mags to discover exactly who his parents were. And at Haven, he had access to the extensive Archives. Poring through the Archives, he got only incomplete information: his parents, found dead in a bandit camp, had been two of a number of hostages, some of whom had survived. The survivors had told the Guard that Mags? parents spoke a language that no one understood or recognized. This information did not help, for the ForeSeers had been having visions of the king's assassination by ?one of the foreign blood? Some had even Seen Mags with blood on his hands. How could Mags defend himself against a crime that hadn?t yet been committed? N° de réf. du vendeur 00094449647
