Exile's Honor by Mercedes Lackey
5.0
If you met the Weaponsmaster Alberich of Karse in some of the earlier tales of Valdemar, this gives his backstory, starting in Karse itself during the reign of Sendar, father of Selenay. We are treated to his struggles as he copes with a new homeland and as he makes friends and settles into his role as Weaponsmaster... and does some undercover work in the seamier parts of Haven while tensions grow between Valdemar and Karse.
There's some great battle scenes and the chief character is well drawn. We also get to see the better side of the religion of the Sunlord to balance out the bad side depicted in other works set in Valdemar and the surrounding nations.
