I have finished The Silver Gryphon, the third and final book of The Mage Wars Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey.

Frankly nameless terrors have always given me a rash, but thanks to recalling what Wintermoon and Skif encounter two millennia hence in the Pelagirs I had an idea about just what might be stalking Tadrith and Silverblade in those unexplored rain forests. And I was right, but Star-Eyed strike me the Cataclysm certainly whipped up trouble even so close the Western Coast and Haighlei lands! But "no disaster without some benefit" as the Shin'a'in say (or will say), and now at last Tad and Blade have found peace with being the children of Skandranon & Zhaneel, Amberdrake & Winterhart, and with it the peace and freedom to be themselves with their parents.

Alas that I will never hear more of their stories (except in history, perhaps)! For thus ends this lovely saga that answered many questions I had about the Mage Wars, Urtho, the Black Gryphon, Ma'ar, the Kaled'a'in in general and Clan k'Leshya specifically. For when I see Clan k'Leshya next it will be two millennia hence again, back in Valdemar with Elspeth, Darkwind, yet more k'Leshya Gryphons, and of course Kero and the rest of everyone. All dealing the same thing Skandranon and Amberdrake did: the impacts of Cataclysm, the Mage Storms.
