Only 18 hours left to back Grandmaster!

[mercedeslackeyblog]

There are eight days left to get in on the deluxe edition of my Valdemar short stories, Grandmaster.

This beautiful book is going to have illustrations for the stories, which are collected from most of the Valdemar anthologies, plus the novella from Herald's Companion.

The illustrations are just beautiful, and include one from the amazing Nene Thomas.

Thank you all for being fans and readers for all these years, and supporting me and all these amazing artists.

@oroborian drew my beloved Sister Lashan / Need for me last year and it's very special. I got it printed and framed it but I'm constantly waffling about where to put it!

they also drew Nyara getting to learn about Fashion. I think she likes it.

Celebrating this MerMay day with one of my all-time favorite mermaid inspired pieces to date.

A huge thank you to my friends for helping me with this shoot back in 2020. :) You know they truly love you when they’re willing to jump into a river with you first thing in the morning. ♥️

Wishing you all a warm and safe summer weekend.

I'm taking artistic liberties on how Herald whites look.

LOL Tayledras thinking to blend in as a Herald

A gorgeous commission I got from @spindlewit last year, showing Nyara with Need in the old tower, contemplating her options. I'm still so happy with this.

It's in the style of the art from the Mage Winds covers, though also Need is depicted there as the disturbing presence that Elspeth sees her as having. Nyara's sitting on one of Skif's tunics.

That is AWESOME

Shin’a’in Warsong by Mercedes Lackey

Maiden, Worrier, Mother, Crone, Help us keep this land our own Rover, Guardian, Hunter, Guide, With us now forever ride!

Gold the down-sun spreads his wings Follow where the East-wind sings Brothers, sisters, side by side, To defend our home we ride!

Eyes of Hawks the borders see- Watches, guard it carefully Let no stranger pass it by- Children of the Hawk, now fly!

Speed of Deer, oh grant of these- Swift to warn of enemies, Fleeter far then any foe- Deer-child, to the border go!

Cunning as the Wolf-pack now, To no overlord we bow! Lest some lord our freedom blight, Brothers of the Wolf now fight!

Brave, the great Cat guards his lair, Teeth to rend and claws to tear Lead the battle, first to last, Children of the Cat, hold fast!

Hawk and Cat, and Wolf and Deer, Keep the Plains now save from fear, Brothers, sisters, side by side, To defend our home, we ride!

[this song] is so close to being Lucky Sevens - Hawk, Deer, Wolf, and Cat… I suppose if Sai gets the cat summons it might work. XD – Silver Queen

Oh so true (Warning: video has swearing)
