 So far this is a great book. Of course I love all the stuff Mercedes Lackey writes. This book is a new series that is based on events that occured in her Obsidian Trilogy which takes place 1000 years earlier. The new characters have an interesting and distorted view of their history. The rose colored glasses have hidden what really happened and now someone wants to regain balance to all things. Synopsis New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory first teamed up to write The Obsidian Trilogy, set in a wondrous world filled with magical beings, competing magic systems, and a titanic struggle between good and evil. That world proved so popular with the creators and readers alike that Lackey and Mallory have returned to it with The Phoenix Unchained, Book One of The Enduring Flame, the opening volume of a new epic fantasy trilogy.
After a thousand years of peace, much Magick has faded from the world. The Elves live far from humankind. There are no High Mages, and Wild Mages are seen only rarely. Bisochim, a powerful Wild Mage, is determined to reintroduce Darkness to the world, believing that it is out of Balance.
Tiercel, a young Armethalian nobleman, is convinced that High Magic is not just philosophy. He attempts a spell—and draws the unwelcome attention of Bisochim. Tiercel survives Bisochim’s attack and begins trying to turn himself into a High Mage.
Next in line to be Harbormaster of Armethalieh, Harrier instead finds himself regularly saving Tyr’s life and meeting magickal people and creatures. To Harrier’s dismay, it seems that he must become a hero.
In The Phoenix Unchained, Harrier and Tiercel begin a marvelous journey to uncover their destinies. Along the way, they meet a charming female centaur, several snooty Elves, and the most powerful dragon their world has ever known.
More Reviews and Recommendations Biography Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory have written The Outstretched Shadow, named Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror by VOYA; To Light A Candle, a USA Today bestseller; and When Darkness Falls, a New York Times bestseller. Lackey lives in Oklahoma. Mallory lives in New York.

Biography
Lynn Abbey lives in Leesburg, Florida. She and her ex-husband created Thieves' World over twenty years ago, where it launched the shared world anthology subgenre. She is also the author of the successful Behind Time series for Ace.
Her son has no connection to the mother he feels abandoned him to the chief's tent. She is the healer of the plains and dedicates her life to the Bright Moon Goddess.

Her son follows because he is the best friend of the chief's son. So far a good book
