Mercedes Lackey Quote
But, Andromeda- Peri exclaimed. You are the 'most' important person in this scheme!I- what? she said. You must be joking!Peri shook his massive head. On the contrary. You are the only person here who has actually been inside the Palace. You know everything there is to know about it. Without that, we can't even begin to mount an attack, now, can we?At least not the kind of attack we can manage with as few people as we have, and as untrained or half trained, Adam agreed. You are the key to our plan.Of all the things she had heard today this was the most astonishing. She was important. She was vital. She who had never been anything to anyone-Besides, Gina said with a grin, I can teach you to use something that you won't have to get in close to use. A sling. Believe me, I've seen a good sling-man take down seasoned fighters many a time.Andie raised her chin and looked into Peri's eyes. Then you have me, she said, but could not help adding, for what it's worth.

Her other main world is one much like our own, but it includes clandestine populations of elves, mages, vampires, and other mythical beings. The Bedlam's Bard books describe a young man with the power to work magic through music; the SERRAted Edge books are about racecar driving elves; and the Diana Tregarde thrillers center on a Wiccan who combats evil.
