Praise for the Deverry series:
‘A criminally under-rated and overlooked epic fantasy sequence [with] a keen sense of history, well drawn characters, and a complex plot’ Kate Elliott, author of the Spiritwalker Trilogy
‘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

Customer Reviews
One of the best series
Read this book in the 90’s. Just finished it again. Thoroughly enjoyed it! This is one of the best series out there Katharine Kerr is amazing.
Life changing
When I first read this book it felt like it became a part of me. From a mystical world that echoed the world my mother believed in, to a story that taught me how honour worked. This book starts slow, but once you get to the second third of it it's worth the ride. The rest just gets better and better as the following books guide you through the land of Deverry, and a history that is rich.
Book three missing! 😕
Why have all the books in the series except book three?? 😕 Please add Dawnspell - the bristling wood please !!! Love this series but don't want to buy them all if I can't get book three.....
