Bastion is a science fiction book by author Mercedes Lackey.
No one doubts that he is and should be a Messenger. He feared that his mere presence would incite danger within Valdemar’s heart. The Collegia heads feared that returning to his known haunt would leave him less protected than he would have been if he had gone into hiding. He’s going elsewhere – why not go back to where he was found in the first place and look for clues? And those closest to him, and possibly providing side goals, will also pursue.
Together with Herald Jadrek, Herald Kylan (the Weapons Headmaster’s chosen successor), and friends Bear, Lena, and Amily, they head to Bastion, a hideout in the hills that was once the headquarters of a mighty band of bandits once held. he and his parents are prisoners. But what they found was not what anyone expected.
