But now, magic is slowly coming back and Ancar, an evil bloodpath-mage from Hardorn knows it. A mage couldn't even go into Valdemar before he was driven out because of the unseen 'eyes' watching him or her. She is also a professional lyricist and a licensed wild bird rehabilitator. Since Herald Vanyel's time, all forms of magic, except for Mind magic, ceased to exsist in Valdemar's borders. Lackey's delightful world of magic is inhabited by strong and believable men, women and creatures, the most enchanting being the griffins Treyvan and Hydona.
