Closer to Home by Mercedes Lackey 361 pages
Mags was once an enslaved orphan living a harsh life in the mines, until
the King's Own Herald discovered his talent and trained him as a spy.
Now a Herald in his own right, at the newly established Heralds'
Collegium, Mags has found a supportive family, including his Companion
Dallen.
Although normally a Herald in his first year of Whites
would be sent off on circuit, Mags is needed close to home for his
abilities as a spy and his powerful Mindspeech gift. There is a secret,
treacherous plot within the royal court to destroy the Heralds. The
situation becomes dire after the life of Mags' mentor, King's Own
Nikolas, is imperiled. His daughter Amily is chosen as the new King's
Own, a complicated and dangerous job that is made more so by this
perilous time. Can Mags and Amily save the court, the Heralds, and the
Collegium itself?
