Tanith Lee Marion Zimmer Bradley Biography & Facts

This is a list of books by Mercedes Lackey, arranged by collection. Valdemar universe Some of the trilogies follow on chronologically from each other, while others are set a considerable number of years apart from the others -- overall the books span some 2500 years. The Mage Wars Co-written with Larry Dixon. These are set in pre-history, some 2500 years before the Heralds of Valdemar trilogy. They describe the events which set off the Mage Storms. It involves gryphons, creatures created by the mage Urtho (Mage of Silence). The co-protagonists are Skandranon Rashkae, a princely but proud ebony gryphon, and Amberdrake, a Healer of spirit and mind called a kestra'chern. The Black Gryphon (1994) The White Gryphon (1995) The Silver Gryphon (1996) The Founding of Valdemar The story of the Baron Kordas Valdemar fleeing with his people the oppressive Eastern Empire and founding the kingdom of Valdemar in the western wilds.

Vows and Honor These precede the Heralds of Valdemar books and center around the characters Tarma and Kethry. These characters appeared first in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress series and were revisited in subsequent short stories. Two of these short stories are woven into the Vows and Honor books as part of a longer narrative. The original Vows and Honor pair of books were linked together with By the Sword (published long before Oathblood) as a trilogy. The Oathbound (1988) Oathbreakers (1989) Oathblood (1998) The third volume, Oathblood, is made up entirely of short stories in place of a longer narrative. With its publication, nearly all of the Tarma and Kethry stories were available together in a single compiled volume for the first time. The single missing story, "A Dragon in Distress", was co-authored with Elisabeth Waters and was originally published in the Sword and Sorceress series, volume XII. The story, now available as a solo e-book, is missing from the Oathblood collection due to being set in Elisabeth Waters's world, not Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar. The contents of Oathblood are as follows: "Introduction" (1998)—Originally published in Oathblood "Sword-sworn" (1985)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress III "Turnabout" (1986)—Originally published in Oathbound "The Making of a Legend" (1990)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress VI "Keys" (1988)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress V "A Woman's Weapon" (1992)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress IX "The Talisman" (1990)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress VII "A Tale of Heroes" (1987)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress IV "Friendly Fire" (1993)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress X "Wings of Fire" (1991)—Originally published in Sword and Sorceress VIII "Spring Plowing at Forst Reach" (1998)—Originally published in Oathblood "Oathblood" (1998)—Originally published in Oathblood In the books and short stories, Tarma is a sword-wielding Shin'a'in clanswoman. Kethry is a magic-user who carries a sword with unusual properties. The nature of this sword, Need, is explored in later series set in Valdemar. At the time of the Vows and Honor books, all that is known is that it is magic, protects female bearers, and can pressure its owner into assisting other women. The overarching goal for the two women is to accumulate resources enough to regenerate Tarma's almost-destroyed clan. As the titles of the books suggest, emphasis is laid on the importance and consequences of oaths in at least one story from each book. The setting of the books is generally in the lands south of Valdemar such as Rethwellan, although there is a brief sojourn in Valdemar in Oathbreakers. Despite limited time in Valdemar, there were references in the first two Vows and Honor books to the Companions of Valdemar which laid early hints to their nature. The introduction of a fourfold deity (Tarma's Goddess) was something of a novel idea at the time of publication. Kerowyn's Tale This is a stand-alone novel which connects the Vows & Honor sub-series to the Heralds and other trilogies; it introduces the character Kerowyn, who is the granddaughter of Kethry from the Vows and Honor sub-series. By the Sword (1991) Heralds of Valdemar This set consists of the original trilogy, the very first Valdemar books published, and a prequel trilogy. Heralds of Valdemar prequels These center on the Weaponsmaster Alberich (in the first two books) and the thief Skif (in the third book), telling the stories of their not-entirely-voluntary enrollment....
