1. The Outstretched Shadow: Kellen Tavadon, son of the Arch-Mage Lycaelon, thought he knew the way the world worked. His father, leading the wise and benevolent Council of Mages, protected and guided the citizens of the Golden City of the Bells. Young Mages in training-all men, for women were unfit to practice magic-memorized the intricate details of High Magic and aspired to seats on the council.
2. To Light a Candle: In The Outstretched Shadow, which was named by VOYA as Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror book for 2003, Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory introduced readers to a complex new fantasy world populated by humans, centaurs, elves, talking unicorns, and demons. The Golden City of the Bells, where only humans live, is ruled by the Mage Council, practitioners of High Magic—a powerful magic that is stable and reliable, though rigidly controlled and performed only by men. Outside the City’s walls, humans and magical beings mix freely and call upon Wild Magic—a system sometimes erratic, always driven by desire and need, and performed by both men and women. Now, in To Light a Candle, the Demon Queen sends her forces against her human and elven enemies, sowing distraction and death. In the human City, the Queen’s agents work to divide the Council and foment rebellion among the City’s citizens. In the countryside, they target the most vulnerable and valuable—the young Elf Prince and the Wild Mages who might be the Demons’ most dangerous enemies.
3. When Darkness Falls: Despite a great working of Wild Magic and High Magick that struck at the heart of the Demon Queen’s evil plots, Knight-Mage Kellen and his Elven allies are seen as enemies by the human Mage Council, thanks to the manipulations of High Mage Anigrel, the Demon Queen’s pawn." "In the midst of war, the Elves and their magical companions must find a way to shatter the Demons’ hold on the human Golden City of the Bells. Without High Magick, the forces of Light will be destroyed by the forces of Darkness."
