It seems sad to me. I am unable to listen to any of these song without crying. It does not matter what the song is about, I always wind up thinking to the depressing parts of the books.

[RedwoodTheElf]

This actual incident doesn't occur in the novels...it is set between books 1 and 2 and is presumably one of the events Vanyel refers back to in the first chapters of Magic's Promise...he does mention turning demons back on the Karsite lands, but doesn't elaborate...Hardor and Lord Nedron don't appear.

[WarriorHawkSpirit]

I got all the books from my friends garage sale. I failed my word processing test but know the whole history of the herald mage and the rest of them. Mrs Meyers was SO mad at me. Shes like, name me 23 html codes and I began to list herald mage chars. My class laughed so bad! LAWL!

[Wildlybamboozled]

@WarriorHawkSpirit Nice. xD I got them when I was young and prejudiced. So, Van startled me and I lost me prejudices. Been listening to these for a while.

[metabog]

Awesome.

[spectrelead]

I love this song, and how it fills in some of the gaps between Pawn and Promise, showing why Vanyel had the reputation he did in Promise.

[realmlord]

Ok, just to say, I'm not affiliated or anything with them, but you can find most Mercedes Lackey stuff on a site called Firebird Arts. They make companions, carry the cd's, some signed books at times, and other Valdemar stuff. I'm not sure of the exact URL but googling them should find it fairly easily. Hope this helps anyone. :)

[BrotherLucifer]

I love the lone ranger reference at 2:40

[spectrelead]

@BrotherLucifer Especially when it's an unintended reference, right?

[Oradyn]

@abbymorgan thanks :) i'll go search for it!

[leshyaedawnfire]

Where can I find these Albums? I really want them!

[greengrendel]

Happy I found at last a fantasy series which is not just a boring medieval re-enactment, and has wizards smiting each other with lightning :D less horsing, more smiting plz!

[whitemoonwolf13]

man this is amazing. i'm a huge fan of the valdemar series i have all the books but i had no idea the mercedes lackey could write songs as well as she crafts a story. this song is amazing and the singer does an excellent job.

[alamandyzara]

were can i get her Cds?

[ineeddragons]

@alamandyzara I have been wondering that too, I want all of them :)

[Tezrath12]

Heather does a good job... but I'd like to hear a version of it with male voices for Van and 'lord nedrin'

[CarusIncendia]

SO THIS ONE TIME IN A LAND CALLED HARDORN THERE WAS A WAR ON THE BORDER WITH VALDEMAR SO THE KING FESTIL WAS LIKE "LOL AFK" AND THEN A WIZARD NAMED NEDRIN WAS LIEK "I'M IN UR KINGDOM, A-RAIDIN' YOUR VILLAGES" SO THEN VANYEL WAS LIEK "LOL B&" AND HE PWNT NEDRIN UP THE ASS. The end. Gods, I love this song.

[dykegrrl10]

I love "The Last Herald Mage" series. I have read the books at least twenty times. This is the first time I have heard the songs that I have read about and read the lyrics too. I am gonna get the cd.

[deathrayne1]

this song is awsome...and it indeed makes me really want to check out the books. :)

[goverlord]

I checked out the Last of the Herald Mages from the library because of this song.

[TheEndKing]

This is dope, man. I *love* how Heather will act out the different roles, as she sings. Like, her voice will get deeper, lighter, angrier...it's pretty awesome.

[WeWitchesOne]

I was so happy to discover the lyrics to this in the back of my copy of Magic's Price. Now I can sing it whenver I want, cuz its a pretty awesome song.

[GildinGlaur]

has anybody the lyrics?

[TheEndKing]

Holy shit. This is amazing.

[blood669line669]

wus a herald mage ?

[rdrgrl15]

this series, I read years ago, in high school also, is Still My favorite. and every time I read It I lose myself in intense emotions for weeks. Depressed almost but in a wonderful way. My heart breaks for Van every time. Im so glad to see so many others as touched by this trilogy as I have been. <3

[LittleBat]

I read the books back in highschool like 6-8 years ago and collected most of the Valdemar novels since then. |D I need to get her newer ones though. Its funny that I just started rereading Van's stories this week. I for got how much his story touched me as a teen an made me really think about things.

[critter19581446]

This is one of best set of books I have read!

[babydwagon]

I got the whole set from a book store that was going out of bussness, and had them all read by the end of the month. Failed my exams but know the whole history of the Herald-Mage. But just found out that there were Cds.

[Moparmama70]

they sell it at Firebird Arts and Music.

[Moparmama70]

Anyone notice that she's changed some of the words? They kinda don't make sense where she did.

[jgungfuguru]

I have, and that's why I want to compose my own set of music, preserving the lyrics. you wouldn't havppen to know how to contact mercedes lackey or firebird?

[Moparmama70]

I love these books. I've started a yahoo group for discussing these and other Lackey books. It's called " A Last Herald-Mage Fan group".

[Ironsouled]

good good book, good song

[animerosebearer]

I loved reading these books. they belonged to my mom, and then I found them in her bookshelf so i started reading the Magic's Pawn book. Awesome story.

[Luffys1girl]

lol, same way as to how i started reading them xD

[darkwind12321]

[HaiDaiyu]

[Stardream222]

I get it!Tylendel and Vanyel!

[19epiphany78]

nice.

[Ironsouled]

hmm, I usually dislike modern of the celtic/bardic songs, for none can give the feel that the real stuff has. But Misty Lackey is good, and Heather Alexander can give it the true feel

[lyman6]

Love this, must go read the series again, I'd forgotten how epic some pieces are.

[Stardream222]

At least you have the whole series I only have the last one I had all three but my sis*Glares at sister* Took them,hide them and now we can't find them.

[bpod14]
