In The Enduring Flame Trilogy, Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory have given readers a new view of the complex and fascinating world they originally created for The Obsidian Trilogy.

Jumping one thousand years in time, Lackey and Mallory tell the compelling story of Harrier Gillain, the first Knight-Mage in a thousand years; Tiercel Rolfort, the first High Mage in hundreds of years; and Shaiara, the young leader of a desert tribe who takes both boys under her wing but finds that she has a special affection for Harrier. These three young people are their world’s main defense against the evil called up by the rogue Wild Mage, Bisochim.

Included in The Enduring Flame Trilogy are The Phoenix Unchained, The Phoenix Endangered, and The Phoenix Transformed.

Reviews

“Highly readable. High fantasy fans should appreciate the intelligent storytelling with an unmistakable flavor of Andre Norton at her best.” —Publishers Weekly on When Darkness Falls

“Once Kellen realizes there is a world full of wonders, diversity, and people who think and live differently, he cannot return to the oppressive sameness of City life…The Wild Magic has another agenda for him, however, involving an acerbic unicorn and a woman-heavens!-to learn the Wild…Magic from.

Delightful.” —Booklist on The Outstretched Shadow

“Shaiara is a plucky and resourceful character, rising above the tropes common to multicultural fantasy.

Readers can rest assured that Lackey and Mallory will not let them down.” —SFRevu.com on The Phoenix Endangered

“Entertaining. . . .Highly readable.” —Publishers Weekly on The Phoenix Unchained

“As entertaining as the first trilogy. Tiercel and Harrier are great foils for each other, and their friendship rings true.

A thoughtfully created world, engaging characters, and a tighter plot than many fantasy epics make this a must-have.” —VOYA on The Phoenix Unchained
