The Valdemar series is an expansive collection of fantasy novels by Mercedes Lackey, set in the fictional world of Valdemar and spanning over 3,000 years of in-universe history. The series is known for its rich world-building, recurring themes of found family, personal growth, and the struggle against oppression, as well as its unique magical creatures called Companions-telepathic, supernatural horses that “Choose” individuals to become Heralds, the kingdom’s peacekeepers and champions.

The Valdemar books are organized into multiple sub-series and a few standalone novels. The stories are not published in chronological order, but readers can approach them either by publication date or by the internal timeline of the world. Major arcs include:

Key Themes and Elements
Companions: Mystical, intelligent horse-like beings who partner with Heralds, granting them psychic abilities and moral guidance.

Heralds: Chosen individuals who serve as judges, peacekeepers, and sometimes spies for the kingdom.

Diversity and Representation: The books are notable for early and positive LGBTQ+ representation, especially in The Last Herald-Mage trilogy.

Standalone and Crossover: While most books are part of trilogies or series, some, like By the Sword, serve as bridges between arcs and can be read independently.

Magic’s Pawn (1989): The beginning of The Last Herald-Mage trilogy, set centuries before the original trilogy.
