Synopsis

Katharine Kerr's richly imagined cycle of novels set in Deverry and the Westlands has earned a devoted following—and a reputation as the finest Celtic fantasy being written today. Now she returns to Deverry's war-ravaged past . . .

In a kingdom torn by civil war, young Lillorigga seeks to shield her dawning powers from her cruel mother Merodda's manipulation. Mistress of a magic that, untamed, could kill her, Lilli brings her terrifying visions under the kindlier tutelage of the mysterious dweomermaster, Nevyn. But soon she must choose between her own clan and the true king who fights to claim his rightful throne, between sanctuary and blood feud, loyalty and love. Little does she dream that the slaughter she invites, and the malevolence she defies, could stalk her across the ages . . . twisting and twining the strands of timeless destinies.

This is the first book in a new cycle of novels set in Deverry by Katharine Kerr, and as such new readers can start out at this point. I would recommend vehemently, though, that they do not since a number of storylines from prior novels come together or are referenced in this novel. For the first tim......more

Goodreads review by Don

The authors literary Kung Fu is very strong. BUT It chaps my hide to have more questions at the end of the book then I had at the end of chapter 1, and then to end on a cliffhanger. The story also has some dark corners.......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin

It’s been a couple of years since I last inhabited Katherine Kerr’s celtic-inspired world of Deverry and the Westlands and I thought it was high-time I revisited the series. While this is, technically, the ninth book of the series, it is also the first book in a trilogy called “The Dragon Mage” tril......more
