Editor’s note Prolific American fantasy writer best known for Valdemar, a kingdom protected by Heralds, each chosen for life by a Companion, a telepathic being in the shape of a white horse. Arrows of the Queen, the most read, follows Talia, a runaway girl from a harsh farming sect, as she is Chosen and trained. The Last Herald-Mage trilogy, starting with Magic’s Pawn, rates even higher; its hero Vanyel was one of the first gay protagonists in mainstream fantasy, in 1989. Emotional, earnest and comforting. Read each trilogy in order.
