A truly great series, but the original trilogy is still the best. ( )

This is the first novel in a 'prequel' series. The Camber series comes far before the Kelson series, and tells the story of the heroic Deryni who tried to save the kingdom from its evil rulers, and in particular, the story of Camber of Culdi, who Kelson would later pray to as a saint. If you appreciate characters who are too good for their own good, ritualistic, holy and graceful magic, you'll appreciate these books. These are some of my favorite fantasy novels. ( )
