Magics Pawn The Last Herald Mage

by Mercedes Lackey

Although born with great potential to work magic, Vanyel wants only to be a Bard. But his talent for magic cannot be left untrained, and Vanyel is sent to be schooled by his aunt Savil, one of the famed Herald-Mages of Valdemar. Soon Vanyel finds himself the focus of both good and evil magic. If he cannot learn how to control his power, it could unleash vast destruction. Prequel to Magic's Promise (RC 41572). 1989.
