“Lackey and Mallory combine their talents for storytelling and world crafting into a panoramic effort. Filled with magic, dragons, elves, and other mythical creatures, this belongs in most fantasy collections.” —Library Journal on To Light a Candle

“In the captivating world conjured by veteran Lackey and classical scholar Mallory, there are three types of magic, each of which has its own rules, limits and variables. Kellen sets down a road he never expected to take, on a journey of dire importance to both humans and nonhumans (the latter including elves, unicorns, and other enchanting creatures). The narrative speeds to the end, leaving the reader satisfied and wanting to know more.” —Publishers Weekly on The Outstretched Shadow

“[Kellen’s] father banishes him forever from the City and to a horrific death prearranged by the mages. The Wild Magic has another agenda for him, however, involving an acerbic unicorn and a woman–heavens!–to learn the Wild (but not sex) Magic from. Delightful.” —Booklist on The Outstretched Shadow
