Summary
Returning from a year trapped in the ruin of Urtho’s Tower, Herald-Mage Vanyel and King’s Own Dara have some of the answers they sought – secrets of Leareth’s past as Ma’ar, from an outside source. What they don’t have is a final decision, or anywhere near the resources Valdemar would need to mount a war. Vanyel’s next steps involve a number of conversations – with the King and Senior Circle, with his aunt, and of course with Leareth.
Meanwhile, Jisa is growing up fast, and Bard Stefen is on his Journeyman circuit, headed north.

Summary
After the revelations of the past winter, the Heraldic Circle is wobbling its way to a new normal. The immediate chaos may be past, but an immortal mage lurks beyond their border, and however confusing and terrifying that reality is, they need a plan. To understand Leareth’s motives, they need something more objective than words from the man’s own lips; ideally, an outside perspective on his history.
Herald-Mage Vanyel is trying to find his own way forward. With Yfandes fully on his side for the first time in years, maybe he can reason his way through to a world that makes sense again.
Meanwhile, Dara, the young soon-to-be King’s Own, Gifted with Foresight, dreams of a distant plain where, just maybe, they could find the answers they need.

Summary
An alternative timeline starting in 812 AF, a few years after the end of Magic's Price. It is early in the reign of Treven and Jisa.
The Vrondi are watching for magic use in Valdemar, but are not yet fully in practice. Stavenar, an Adept from across the western sea comes to Valdemar to offer his services. He has scryed some about them and was intrigued. He senses the Vrondi watching him, but as his magics are small, the sensation is unsettling, but not maddening.
Tantras has become head of the Heraldic Circle, Arved is still Seneschal and Duke Oden is now Lord Marshal. A few other survivors of Magic's Price will show up as the story progresses.Series

Summary
[This is part 6 of a series. Start at the beginning!]
In the aftermath of the Battle of Sunhame, Valdemar is finally at peace with Karse. Technically. There are still plenty of problems, new and old. No Monarch's Own Companion; a dying King with no heir; a raging civil war, with mysteriously well-equipped rebels; and the still-pending threat of an invasion from the north.
In the meantime, Stef and Medren are busy taking the Bardic Collegium by storm, and seven-year-old Jisa is dealing with some unruly early-awakened Gifts.
Herald-Mage Vanyel has a few problems of his own: an unresolved conflict with his aunt Savil, growing tension with his Companion, and a question that no one else even knows he needs to answer. Can Leareth be trusted?
Updates Fridays.
