Product Description
Product Description
The number of Deryni was small, for they had been hounded for generations and kept their identities secret. Those who managed to retain their arcane powers concealed their background--for bitter persecution once again swept the land of Gwynedd, inspired by a raving fanatic sworn to destroy all Deryni in a final bloodbath.

An excellent, suspenseful novel...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deryni Checkmate (Chronicles of the Deryni) (Mass Market Paperback)
King Kelson of Gwynedd faces a war on two fronts: a Church led internal rebellion, and an invasion from a neighboring land; while covert forces loom in the background, in volume two of The Chronicles of the Dernyni, Deryni Checkmate. It is an excellent story, with complex plots and subplots. Treachery and intrigue abound, while courage and honor are put to the test. This is the cliffhanger that concludes in High Deryni. A definite must read....

An Excellent Fantasy Novel,
By Matilda from Newcastle (Newcastle, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deryni Checkmate (Hardcover)
Deryni Checkmate is a wonderfully detailed portrait of an alternate Medieval Wales and Scotland with a race of persecuted sorcerers called the Deryni. The picture Kurtz paints of the political and religious intrigues, and the terrible toll the persecution has on the characters is marvellous and very realistic.

Gripping!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deryni Checkmate (Chronicles of the Deryni) (Mass Market Paperback)
A well-done, suspenseful, entertaining book. I must disagree with the reviewers who gave it a low rating. It requires concentration to fully understand the plot with all of its subplots. The conflicts of the persecution of the Deryni and the threat towards Alaric Morgan's duchy are continually entertaining. The end is clearly a cliffhanger (and an excellent, though sad one) leading up to the next book, High Deryni. A must-read.
