I enjoy Katherine's characterisations and to me realistic depictions of the complexities of relationships admittedly within a semi-realistic context. She is especially strong on describing friendships. It is also a joy to find stories which take Christian spirituality seriously. As a woman priest within the Church of England - an environment still not entirely friendly to my calling - I found the justification Duncan gives for his illegal ordination almost too poignant to read and strikes some real chords with my own journey although thankfully I have never actually been threatened with the stake!

The book is exactly as described, and was delivered very quickly. It is in extremely good condition considering its age, and has a solid and satisfying feel when held. Considering the price I paid, this book is incredible value, and i would have no hesitation in buying again. Amazon Sellers are a treasure trove of OOP and hard-to-get titles, and I use them almost exclusively to replace the books I have loved and lost over the years

Fitting conclusion, but leaves you wanting more.

This book is excellent. It resolves many important conflicts that the previous books brought up, such as getting Dhugal acknowledged as the Deryni Healer-priest Duncan's son, and Conall's assumption of the Haldane powers, and Rothana and Kelson's feelings for each other. I was delighted to read the scene where Duncan and the Church make their peace, for in all the books about Gwynnedd, Duncan's conscience is very troubled that he must keep is benign Deryni powers secret if he is to remain faithful to his calling of being a priest. However, in my opinion the book is not satisfying in the regards of Keson's search for relics of Saint Camber. It leaves you hanging. But the book is wonderful, and if you enjoy Kurtz' tales of Gwynnedd, you will enjoy this one.

A great read that is difficult to put down

The main theme of the book seems to be Kelson's search for relics of Saint Camber, but there is much more going on than that. Kelson at last comes to terms with the death of Sidana and realizes his growing love for Rothana. Kelson and Rothana promise to wait for his return from the quest before deciding on their future together. While on the quest Kelson and Dhugal are lost, last seen going down a crumbling cliff side and into a raging river. Kelson's jealous cousin, Conall, whether by accident or design, falls into place as the heir to the throne and regent after he brings about Nigel's debilitating seizure. As heir and regent, Conall needs a bride and has set his sights on Rothana. Many loose ends concerning Dhugal's heritage and Duncan's relationship with the church are wrapped up in this book.
This is a great read that sweeps you along and pulls you in, much like the river that Kelson and Dhugal are lost in. In the end it left me wanting more.

Better clear your calendar b4 reading this book.

Because you are never going to put it down. Once I opened it I never shut it until I had finished. It's very gripping and emotional. I would have a kleenex handy while reading. However I was saddened by yet another of Kelson's near brushes with happiness. That boy has the worst luck with women. He needs to find a nice girl to settle down with. Anyway I think it's about time for Katherine to get us off the edge of this cliff. We need the the next book. Please write the next book. Please?
