وصف الناشر
The classic novel that introduced the Deryni and launched Katherine Kurtz's career.
In the land of Gwynedd, the Haldanes have long ruled and have long kept a dangerous secret: there are those of their blood who possess the magical powers of the Deryni. To be Deryni in a land ruled by the all-powerful Church is to be branded an outcast.
But now, young Prince Kelson is about to assume the throne after the mysterious death of his father. He must be told of his magical heritage. For his legacy is being challenged by a woman who does not hesitate to lay full claim to her Deryni powers. And to face her in magical combat, Kelson must learn a lifetime’s worth of magic in a few short days.
If he loses, he dies as his father did. And if he wins, he is King—but all the world will know that he is also Deryni…

Deryni Rising
Awesome.
My First Fantasy Novel....reading for pleasure..changed my life at 11!
The first Trilogy was my introduction to Fantasy novels, and continue to be old friends to this day. Dynamic characters, faults and virtues, a backdrop one can relate to, if only, for some, atavistic in nature. Stories that inspire and live on for our lives are what one finds in these pages. Here I learned The endless Joys of Reading for its own sake and mine, writing for expression and joyful or painful outlet, and of escaping harshness and for a short time visiting new worlds, traditions, peoples, ... New everything or at least everything in a new light....the light of my votive imagination becoming a conflagration that now, over 20 years later, continues to grow with my years, and knowledge, now spanning the deepest Science of body, mind, and Universe to Metaphysics and Religion and Philosophy and now, an ordained Priest, in an order of healers, counselors, even Thanatology and working on Spiritual Psychology, for we shall never cease to explore, right?
Thank you to K.Kurtz for waking my mind to the true miracles of everyday and the special ones of once, now and again. May you Enjoy these books as I did and grow your imagination and free your mind in K.Kurtz' many volumes so worth the time and reading.
Be well,
