Synopsis

In the peaceful land of the Rhiddaer, Jahdo, the rat-catcher's son stumbles upon a secret meeting between a city council man and a dangerous, mysterious woman. Suddenly the boy is tangled in a web of intrigue and black magic that drags him far from home. In the company of a blind bard, Jahdo must travel to Deverry to unravel the evil that binds him. But there the boy is caught up in dangers far greater than he has ever known. Two powerful sorcerers—one human, the other elven—are battling to save the country from a goddess gone mad. Their strongest ally is the mercenary soldier Rhodry Maelwaedd, a berserker bound to both women by fate and magic . . . and to the dragon upon whom all their lives may depend. Days of Blood and Fire begins an exciting new chapter in the chronicles of Deverry and the Westlands, with a story suited to new audiences and loyal fans alike.

And the enjoyment drops again... The Westlands series is certainly a bit up and down. On the other hand, the downs are not really that low and A Time of War is perfectly enjoyable, advances the greater story, and sets us up for the final book very well. It has its own resolution and plot points and......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on October 30, 2017

This is the seventh book the overall Deverry series and the 3rd book of the second quartet (The Westlands) within that larger series. Yep, it's complicated but that is par for the course in this complex fantasy series. This time we are introduced to more characters, get inside the cultures of whole n......more

The scope has expanded in this book, we learn about the Meradan (The Hordes), more about the dwarves, and humans that are outside of Deverry. We also have a dragon in this one! Finally those hints from the end of th......more
