Into the West
ByPublisher Description
The long-awaited founding of Valdemar comes to life in this second book in the new series from a New York Times-bestselling author and beloved fantasist.
Baron Valdemar and his people have found a temporary haven, but it cannot hold all of them, or for long. Trouble could follow on their heels at any moment, and there are too many people for Crescent Lake to support. Those who are willing to make a further trek by barge on into the West will follow him into a wilderness depopulated by war and scarred by the terrible magics of a thousand years ago and the Mage Wars. But the wilderness is not as "empty" as it seems. There are potential friends and rapacious foes....
....and someone is watching them.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was what my soul needed right now. After a few days of wallowing in hopelessness, despair and rage, this book gave me a retreat into a world with love, kindness, empathy, and justice. While it is definitely heavy on politics and strategy and logistics, it is done by leaders who care and want everyone to prosper and thrive. I cried when Pebbles appeared. This series just warmed my cold, dead heart.”Ashley

“I'm loving this origin story. I've wanted to hear about Valdemar's founding since I started reading these books an eon ago in the 90's. Sure this is a slightly slower story as a large section of the book is the final preparations to start their journey into the unknown and then the trek to move thousands of people across the land to who knows where. I was still fascinated by what it took to move all of those people
Of course the minute that they run into the Hawkbrothers thinks start picking up pace pretty quickly and the last quarter to a third of the book kicks things into high gear. I appreciate that Kordas is human in these stories. He desperately wants to be a good leader and take care of his people. He takes on everything as his responsibility, but he's fallible and he agonizes over decisions. At his core though Kordas is a good man and it shines through his actions. It's understandable why people would want to help him because he isn't going to ever take the easy route just because it's easier, but instead is going to do what's right even if it makes things harder. Delia also grows a lot in this story. It was lovely to see her start to come into her own and realize her own strengths. She is starting to move away from the spoiled nobleman's daughter into a woman who recognizes and values the contributions that only she can make.
I'm loving seeing how things began for Valdemar and I'm almost giddy thinking about the next book in the series. That book is going to be the one that hopefully gives a long standing fan of this series the secret answers I've been dreaming of for years.”
