Winds of Change by Mercedes Lackey

In the kingdom of Valdemar, where the bond between Herald and Companion is sacred, the young mage Elspeth is determined to master her magic and face the darkness threatening her world. Guided by her loyal Companion and haunted by visions of war, she journeys beyond the borders of safety to seek the truth of her power — and the courage to use it.

Filled with wonder, danger, and destiny, Winds of Change continues Mercedes Lackey’s spellbinding Valdemar saga — a sweeping tale of transformation, bravery, and the eternal struggle between light and shadow.
