Vaneyl Ashkevron is a character in Mercedes Lackey's Last Herald-Mage series. He is the firstborn son of a minor lord. Having issues with Vanyel's delicate nature and love for music, his father sends him away to be trained by his Aunt, Herald-Mage Savil.
Even though he is gay, Vanyel was my first book boyfriend. Being 16 years-old when I read the series, the sweet Byronic Hero definitely piqued my fancy. The tall, dark, handsome teenager -- later, man -- looking for a gentle place to fall was enough to bring me to my knees. Now, even though I still adore him, I might be more inclined to slap him out of his moodiness ^_~ However, when he shows up in a later series, I could just kiss him!
Vanyel's Stats:
1. The Last Herald-Mage
2. Blue-black hair
3. Chosen by Yfandes
4. Life bonded to Tylendel Frelennye/Stefen

Thanks for stopping by! I have a hard time choosing between Gage and Etienne! In fact a little while ago Etienne was my Book Boyfriend!
ReplyDeleteI've never read this author before, but someday I might give her a try!
Oh he had me at blue/black hair! I love my men with the dark features---hubba hubba :)
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm with Felicia... love dark features. Also... sometimes slapping is fun. ;) Did I just write that? *blushes*
ReplyDeleteVaneyl Ashkevron is an interesting name. And I have to agree with Felicia. I love blue/black hair.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry he swings the other way. In addition to him being fictional, that's another reason barring the two of you coming together :(
ReplyDeleteahh isn't it annoying when the best guys are gay..
ReplyDeletehe sounds very interesting though
I love a moody hero. There is something about them that is irresistible.
ReplyDeleteAwwww the first ones are the ones that stay with you forever. My first was the vampire Lestat. But I was a weird kid =D If you get a sec, cruise by my BBF post:
