Reviews
Praise for Valdemar "The high stakes and the dangerous journey keep the story moving at a brisk pace . Lackey's characters, meanwhile, are admirable as ever as they learn to work together. Series fans will not be disappointed." -- Publishers Weekly " Eye Spy feels like a present written especially for me. You're gonna want to read it. This one's a firecracker ." --Tor.com "Whether it's the spellbinding world , the intrigue of the plot, or the simple yet remarkable narrative style--it is impossible to say which of these makes the story so good, but one thing is for sure: Closer to Home marks the beginning of another fantastic Lackey series." --RT Reviews "Mags remains an engaging character, and makes a very capable spy/investigator.... His adventures still make engrossing reading ." -- Locus "Returning to her beloved Valdemar universe, Lackey opens her new series at a pivotal time in the history of Valdemar.... Series fans will enjoy the variations on a familiar theme, while enough information is presented for first-timers to discover a world of high adventure and individual courage . Highly recommended." -- Library Journal " Closer to the Heart has the two things that have always made me love these books: a richly detailed history of the world, and beautiful writing ." --The Arched Doorway "Lackey is a master at characterization ." --The Ranting Dragon

Synopsis
It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force. Skandranon Rashkae is perhaps the finest specimen of his race, with gleaming ebony feathers, majestic wingspan, keen magesight and sharp intelligence. Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm--a verdant plain long coveted by the evil mage Maar. Now Maar is once again advancing on Urtho's Keep, this time with a huge force spearheaded by magical constructs of his own--cruel birds of prey ready to perform any evil their creator may demand of them. And when one of Urtho's Seers wakes from a horrifying vision in which she sees a devastating magical weapon being placed in the hands of Maar's common soldiers, Skandrannon is sent to spy across enemy lines, cloaked in the protective of Urtho's powerful Spell of Silence., The first book in Mercedes Lackey's classic Mage Wars trilogy featuring the gryphons, set in the beloved fantasy world of Valdemar It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force.
