Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey

” A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the tree, but the young girl seated beneath it did not seem to notice.” I bought a series of Mercedes Lackey Valdemar books from Audible on sale a little while ago, and to my horror I realized that while I could have started off with them, they’re kind of prequels in a way, and I wasn’t sure how much world-building and context I might miss.

I’ve been making up for it though since the books have been ending up neatly packaged into trilogies on Kindle over the past couple of years.
