Alberich is finally explained in these two books! Always a sort of background character, this two book set gives the depth he's been lacking. ( )

My favorites of all the Valdemar books I've read so far, the duology is wonderful, and I love this glimpse into Alberich's psyche. He seems so tough, but it's not until the Exile duology that we understand why he has such a 'Stoneheart.' I like this first best, but I admit that his unsaid 'I told you so' to Selenay at the end of Exile's Valor makes me smile... ( )

Subtitled A Novel of Valdemar. This book begins in the reign of Sendar and follows the career of a military Captain of Karse, Alberich, who has the ability to Foresee, an ability that is anathema to the priests of Karse. When discovered and denounced Alberich escapes and ends up in Valdemar where he must make a new life without violating his Honor and the vows he made to his god. I read this straight thru and enjoyed it.

This is one of my favorite, if not my favorite set within the Valdemar series. Albrich is a character I always wanted to know more about! I only wish I had more than the two books to read about him! I highly recommend the set to Lackey lovers as being some of her better and more well written work. ( )

This is the first part of Alberich's backstory, the short story from Horse Fantastic leads off as a prologue detailing how he was Chosen. It stays in his brain a lot (which is good, as his Karsite syntax when speaking is a bit hard to read!), as he struggles with honour and loyalty as his birth country attacks his adopted one. The scenes in the last battle of the Tedrel Wars had tears running down my face, Lackey can always reduce me to blubbering. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0756400856, Hardcover)

The national best-selling novels of Valdemar are among the most beloved and acclaimed works of Mercedes Lackey's career. This brand-new, stand-alone book in the series tells the story of one of Valdemar's most popular continuing characters-the prickly weapons-master Alberich.

He was once a Captain in the Army of Karse, a kingdom which has been at war with Valdemar for decades. But when Alberich took a stand for what he believes in-and defected-he was chosen by one of the magical Companion horses...to serve the queen of Valdemar.
