Synopsis

Alberich had spent most of his youth in the Karsite military schools training to be an officer. As the son of an impoverished mother, he had no other career choice open to him. And Alberich had risen in the ranks with almost unnatural speed. He developed expertise with many weapons and excelled in academic subjects with an ease that was the envy of his classmates. But in fact, the reclusive Alberich studied long and hard, pushing himself ruthlessly.

In battle, Alberich had always had a sort of "sixth sense" about things which were about to happen—when and from where the enemy would attack. Instinctively, he has this ability, for the Sunpriests kept careful watch for anyone exhibiting "demon powers" which were the hallmark of Karse's greatest enemy—the witch–nation of Valdemar. Those they caught were "cleansed" in the fires of Vkandis Sunlord.

Both Alberich's skill and secret served him well in the army of Karse, and when Alberich became one of Karse's youngest captains, he received a special gift—a powerful white stallion "liberated" from the enemy. But this honor was merely a distraction, for the Sunpriests had laid a trap which even Alberich's strange foresight could not predict . . .

This is up there with my very favorite Valdemar books. I started reading Valdemar stuff when I was nineteen or twenty so I very much appreciated the perspective of an adult approaching the Land of Magical Horses and Sunshine with rather more skepticism than most of the series' protagonists. There's t......more

I'm behind on my blogging, so this will be fast. I have to say that, of all the Valdemar books, I think the 'Rein of Selenay' timeline is, by far, the best. And the "Exile's" series are the best of the best. These follow the fortunes, and lack thereof, of Alberich, a Karsite refugee and former captain......more

First in the Exile Duology subseries within the Valdemar fantasy universe (and taking place in 1355 AF) revolving around Alberich, a captain in the Karsite army. If you're interested, there is a chronological listing of the Valdemar books on my website. My Take "That was the way of things, in the armi......more

Goodreads review by DarkHeraldMage on April 28, 2021

This was truly a wonderful book, more than I ever expected from a book that focused on Alberich. Being a big Valdemar fan and having read almost every other book set in the world, I had somewhat unintentionally avoided this particular series for many years due to an issue that I expected to make me......more

Goodreads review by Kirsti on March 20, 2022

Alberich has long been one of my favorite Valdemar characters, so to read his story was more than a delight. His character is one of the more unique in Valdemar, and his circumstances are vastly different from any other. Of course this set of books set you up for what was the first written stories i......more
