By now the boy who ran from barbarian invaders is both knight of Valdemar and a master mage; he is governor of a small province and in love with Keisha who returns his feelings, but he still has problems and responsibilities. For one thing, he has never solved the mystery of what happened to his parents. For another, Keisha refuses to marry him lest his role as governor and hers of healer come into conflict&mdash;and there are still barbarians beyond the border who threaten one day to come back.<p> The story of how these problems are all resolved is told in a quiet tone unusual in this sort of epic fantasy. Darien has as much to look within for the solution to these issues as to struggle in the outside world. The woodland journey during which he does this is much of the time a celebration of the renewal of the human soul by the natural world.<p> Lackey and Dixon have found a courtly, meditative way of telling an attractively simple story. Darien's growth to final maturity is inevitable, but still fascinating.<p><I>--Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk</I> 833279 1 11 1999 Owlknight (Valdemar: Darien's Tale, #3) total:1197|5:11|4:19|3:13|2:1|1:1| 1197 4463 1452 13 3 3 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 13:28:29 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 18:53:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 18 01:29:13 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 01:32:27 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 25 15:09:02 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 15:09:11 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jun 06 06:35:05 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 06:52:28 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Mon Jan 28 13:18:21 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 13:18:46 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 22:03:21 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 21:39:27 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Aug 29 15:37:07 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 29 15:38:07 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Feb 21 21:25:49 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 23 17:26:27 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 20:04:26 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 20:06:22 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Oct 25 14:00:04 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 14:00:14 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Feb 08 10:42:11 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 10:44:07 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed May 23 17:07:16 -0700 2007 Wed May 23 17:43:37 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue Sep 25 08:55:39 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 08:55:47 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 19:59:41 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 19:59:41 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 19:59:22 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 19:59:23 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Nov 24 11:47:33 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 11:47:33 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Nov 22 20:51:44 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 20:51:44 -0800 2009 3 0 true false Fri Nov 20 19:35:40 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 19:35:52 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Nov 19 13:37:34 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 13:37:35 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Thu Nov 19 09:41:29 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 09:41:29 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=14007
