Unabridged Trained from childhood in the arts of war, Alberich strives to walk a careful path between obedience to the priests of Vkandis Sunlord, fairness to the soldiers under his command and the people of his native land of Karse. His heretical gift of precognition, however, earns him a sentence of death by fire, thwarted by a bold rescue seemingly engineered by his faithful white battle steed - in actuality one of the Companions of the Heralds of Valdemar. Lackey continues her popular Valdemar series with the story of Alberich, Weaponsmaster and Queen's Champion of a land he was taught to fear and hate, as he struggles to redefine the meaning of the honor he holds so dear while learning to accept the magic he once tried to conceal. The book is here chapterized for ease of listening.
