BOOK FOUR IN THE MAGICAL DEVERRY CYCLE
Prepare to be spellbound by a sparkling fantasy classic: a tale of adventure and timeless love, perilous battle and pure magic. The final book in Kerr’s first quartet.
‘I was hooked and my enthusiasm for this series carried me through to the very last and then moved me to tears’ – Fantasy Book Review
‘A cracking read’ – SFX
Memories lost, an end to magic, a vow of steel…
Aberwyn's overlord is dead and the land stands on the brink of war and rebellion. Rhodry is now heir to the rulership, but he has been kidnapped by the agents of an evil magic. Desperate, his half-brother Salamander and his beloved Jill race to free him and bring him home.
But they may be too late, for Rhodry has been caught in the crossfire of Nevyn’s great battle with the Old One. A pawn in the ancient war between Light and Dark, Rhodry’s memories – of home, of duty, of Jill – have been erased.
Jill must now battle to save the man she loves, even if he no longer knows her.
He will never be the same. Nor will she.
Leaving snowy Ohio for California, Katharine Kerr studied at Stanford University for a spell before dropping out to join some of the many social movements sweeping San Francisco in the 60s. She first became involved in the field of fantasy through role-playing games, writing articles for gaming magazines and authoring early quests for Dungeons and Dragons – all of which soon led her to fantasy writing, with her first Deverry novel, Daggerspell, appearing in 1986. Since then, her Deverry series has hit The Times and the Australian bestseller lists, garnering fans from around the world.
‘A criminally under-rated and overlooked epic fantasy sequence [with] a keen sense of history, well drawn characters, and a complex plot.’
Kate Elliott, bestselling author
‘An unusually scholarly writer of fantasy’
Telegraph
