The Obsidian Mountain Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory consists of the VOYA Best Science Fiction and Fantasy novel The Outstretched Shadow, the USA Today bestseller To Light a Candle, and The New York Times bestseller When Darkness Falls.

All three entertaining adventure fantasies feature elves, dragons, humans, and a very opinionated unicorn.

The Outstretched Shadow
Kellen Tavadon, son of the Arch-Mage Lycaelon, thought he knew the way the world worked.

His father, leading the wise and benevolent Council of Mages, protected and guided the citizens of the Golden City of the Bells.

Young Mages in training–all men, for women were unfit to practice magic–memorized the intricate details of High Magic and aspired to seats on the council.

Then he found the forbidden Books of Wild Magic–or did they find him?

To Light a Candle
The dark Queen’s forces are on the move and the forces of Light are beset on all sides. To his own surprise, young Kellen, now a Knight-Mage, becomes part of the Elves’ war councils, valued for his skills as warrior and wizard. Meanwhile, in the City, the Mage Council has been corrupted from within.

When Darkness Falls
The Demons strike! Mages, Elves, and Humans must set enmity aside and stand together against their ancient foe in the stunning conclusion to this epic trilogy.
