Enter the thrilling third volume in the epic Collegium Chronicles . In Mercedes Lackey's classic coming-of-age story, the orphan Magpie pursues his quest for his parent's identity with burning urgency-while also discovering another hidden talent and being trained by the King's Own Herald as an undercover agent for Valdemar. Shy Bardic Trainee Lena has to face her famous but uncaring father, one of Valdemar's most renowned Bards. And Healing Trainee Bear must struggle against his disapproving parents, who are pressuring Bear to quit the Healers' Collegium because he lacks the magical Healing Gift. Each of the three friends must face his or her demons and find their true strength as they seek to become the full Heralds, Bards, and Healers of Valdemar.

I always like reading books set in the world of Valdemar. I've been reading this series of books for around 20 years, so it's comfortable and nostalgic. I could do without the CSI: Haven bit, and I need to find a timeline to see how far this is set before Arrows of the Queen.
I haven't given up hope that maybe sometime we'll get the origin story, the story of the original King Valdemar.
