Description
Book Synopsis
Now in paperback, the long-awaited founding of Valdemar comes to life in this second book in the new series from a New York Times-bestselling author and beloved fantasist. Baron Valdemar and his people have found a temporary haven, but it cannot hold all of them, or for long. Trouble could follow on their heels at any moment, and there are too many people for Crescent Lake to support. Those who are willing to make a further trek by barge on into the West will follow him into a wilderness depopulated by war and scarred by the terrible magics of a thousand years ago and the Mage Wars. But the wilderness is not as "empty" as it seems. There are potential friends and rapacious foes.... ....and someone is watching them.Review Quotes
Praise for Into the West "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 Praise for Valdemar "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
