About this title

Review:

Praise for Katharine Kerr and the Deverry novels:

‘An unusually scholarly writer of fantasy’ Telegraph

‘Much as I dislike comparing anything to The Lord of the Rings, I have to admit that on this occasion it’s justified’ Interzone

‘Kerr is a master of her trade...She has created a world that might very well go on for ever, and this one reader sincerely hopes it does’ Vector

‘An extensive and complete world, whose endlessly fascinating details grow book by book’ Starlog

From the Back Cover:

'A lyrically written and enchanting tale of love, politics and magic' SFX

The powerful dweomermaster Nevyn has been reincarnated, but the young orphan Neb knows nothing of his previous life.

The savage Horsekin tribes, spurred on by their new goddess, Alshandra, are raiding the villages on the Western border of Deverry, the first step in their plans to destroy both the Deverrian farmers and the nomadic Westfolk.

Neb finds love and danger as he and his soulmate Branna are drawn inexorably into a war for the survival of the kingdom itself. Although they have powerful allies in the Westfolk dweomermasters Dallandra and Salamander, they are also facing mighty enemies, enemies that they have fought before in the past lives that they no longer remember...

Intricately interweaving human and elven history over several hundred years, Katharine Kerr's enthralling and moving tale of extraordinary characters living their many lives through exceptional times is epic fantasy on a truly grand scale.
