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:

The greatest act of magic ever seen...

When Evandar transformed the dying Rhodry Maelwaedd into a dragon, the strength of the mystical dweomer power he invoked astonished even Dallandra, his lover and a powerful mage in her own right. Now she has taken on the task of revoking the spell and setting Rhodry free of his assumed form – if she can discover how.

The secret may lie on Haen Marn, the mysterious island that disappeared from the Northlands during the First Horsekin War - if she can find it. And if she does unearth the secret, working the dweomer might kill her, just as it killed Evandar himself.

In the penultimate novel of Katharine Kerr's highly acclaimed epic fantasy series, the threads of the intricately woven tale of the land of Deverry and her people's draw together as ancient mysteries are about to be uncovered...
