Book Description

Publication Date: 29 Oct 2009 | Series: Deverry Cycle 15

The fifteenth and final novel in the celebrated Deverry series, an epic fantasy rooted in Celtic mythology that intricately interweaves human and elven history over several hundred years.

Spurred on by the priestesses of the false goddess Alshandra, the Horsekin hordes are massing on the northern border of Prince Dar's holdings. Their leaders believe that the rich grasslands of the prince's domain belong to them by divine right, no matter whom they must destroy to claim them.

But Dar has powerful allies on his side, including the dragon Arzosah, who has hated the Horsekin for hundreds of years. She will vow to take a revenge worse than anything the Horsekin and their priestesses could possibly foresee.

The prince's most powerful ally, however, is the one the Horsekin refuse to understand: the deep magic of the dweomer, as wielded by the band of sorcerers sworn to protect him, and especially by the elven master of magic, Dallandra, the silver mage.

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful series, good conclusion 15 July 2010
By M R ONeill
Format:Paperback
I first read Daggerspell back in the early 90's and have waited eagerly for each new book since., faithfully hunting them down. It was not the greatest ending for a series, bur after 15 books it was satisfying. She tied up all the loose ends that need tying up, if she hadn't done that people would be complaining about that instead. I have to say that in my opinion the ending to her series was much more satisfying than Rawling's end to Harry Potter, which left me saying 'how lame can you get'! But there was no epic battle to be had, just the unraveling of a celtic knot that had tangled so many people together for so long.
I have over the years, strongly recommended her books to friends and my students and will continue to do so. I now feel like an old friend has passed away, I no longer have some of my all time favourite characters to look forward to reading about, most of all I will miss Salamander.
Great series, great books. This is still a great book despite one or two flaws.

3.0 out of 5 stars After all these years 9 Dec 2009
By Jo
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The end is nigh! The final volume of Katharine Kerr's epic Deverry Cycle finally arrived. I had been waiting 23 years for this, to finally find out what happens in the end. Maybe I "over-hyped" it to myself and just expected too much from the story but somehow all I was left with was a vague "you mean that's it?"
Almost all the loose ends were tied up, (sadly in predictable and unsurprising ways), everyone was all settled and sorted, and the big questions were answered, but somehow it just wasn't satisfying...I kept waiting for the action to happen. Several things that were hinted at in previous books (like Penna's story) just never materialised, or were tied off neatly and quickly and almost perfunctorily, with none of the life and emotion I'd so loved in the previous volumes. It's OK. It finishes off the sequence, it's good to finally be able to have the full set and be able to do a full read through, but that's all. "Meh" as my teenage gruntychild would say.

4.0 out of 5 stars After 20 years of waiting..... 30 Dec 2009
By M. A. Brown
Format:Paperback
I read the first of Katherine Kerr's Deverry series, Daggerspell, in the late 80's when it was first published in the UK.
I have read every book as they have been published and have thoroughly enjoyed the threads and story lines as they have developed.
This final book did not disappoint and brought the stories to a satisfactory conclusion although I began to see where it was all going well before the end.
This is a terrific yarn which should stand this test of time, I wonder if any of today's young readers are prepared to read all 15 books!

2.0 out of 5 stars Such as disappointment
I had been waiting a while for the concluding story in the series. Unfortunately it was not worth the wait. The book seemed hurried and not as well written as the other books.

I was disappointed with the book, it concentrated so much on the newer characters like Dallandra, it really neglected the old favourites. Read more
