I keep reading these even though I don't like them that much and the gender politics are horrible. WHYYYY, self? (Probably because I like to finish trilogies I have started.) Book 2 was better and more complex than Book 1, but still with the SEKRIT CATHOLIC MAGIK also the *almost gay but NO HOMO* communion of ... uh ... minds. Maybe I'll go cleanse with some Tremontaine. ( ) The continuation of the story of Camber of Culdi, ancient Deryni hero, and now a saint! Camber's family continues the fight to save the kingdom from its evil rulers and outside forces. Unlike a lot of fantasy authors, Kurtz does not rely on sword swinging warriors that mow down everyone before them, instead her heroes use subtle magic and the sheer force of their will that good will prevail. These books are well written, and the characters are engaging and appealing. no reviews | add a review

The breathtaking history of the Deryni continues as the greatest hero of a medieval fantasy realm is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice The evil king is dead, and thanks to the efforts of revered Deryni magic-user Camber of Culdi, a human liege occupies the throne of Gwynedd for the first time in nearly a century. The yoke of tyranny has finally been lifted from the shoulders of an oppressed people who suffered for decades under the cruelty of the ruling magical race. But Camber's job remains unfinished. The dangerous remnants of a conquered enemy still mass at the borders. Worse still, the former monk and new ruler King Cinhil is desperately unhappy wearing the crown, and is resentful of all Deryni, Camber in particular, and their arcane abilities. Now, with the stability of a fragile kingdom at stake, its greatest champion must make the ultimate sacrifice: Camber of Culdi must cease to exist. No library descriptions found.
