Synopsis

Katharine Kerr has enchanted fans with her magical Deverry and Westlands cycle, and now she brings to a breathtaking conclusion the epic saga.

The final chapter begins in the holy city as it rises from the ashes of Deverry's long wars. Prince Maryn prepares to claim the high kingship, but still the rebel Boar clan stands fast against him. And at court, his illicit passion for the young dweomer apprentice, Lilli, threatens to revive a curse that only she—at her own peril—can lift.

It is a drama that will be played out centuries later in the city of Cerr Cawnen. Among the many who take refuge in the lakeside citadel, nestled in a volcano's shadow, are a Westfolk band guided by the elven enchantress Dallandra and protected by Rhodry Maelwaedd and his fiery guardian dragon.

Meanwhile, from the north come the savage Horsekin slavers, ancient foe of the Westfolk, now bent on the domination of Cerr Cawnen. They are awaited by the sorceress Raena, their self-sworn high priestess and the votary of an evil goddess. Now, as Rhodry and Raena renew their timeless enmity, the fate of the city and every soul within it hangs in the balance—and on an act of self-sacrifice dangerous beyond imagining.

Goodreads review by Benjamin on December 29, 2015

This 11th book in the Deverry Cycle concludes “The Dragon Mage” trilogy (Act III of the four acts that make up the entire cycle). As such, it serves well to wrap up some major plot lines as well as certain primary characters’ personal stories. We spend about half of our time in the past, finishing u......more

The third book in the Dragon Mage sequence. In this book we spend about half of our time in the past, concluding the storyline concerning Lillorigga, princess Bellyra, Maddyn the bard and the prince Maryn. The second half of the book shifts the plot forwards concerning Rhodry, Dallandra, Niffa, Raen......more

Det märks att det här var slutet på flera böcker som hängde ihop. Fler finns det men det blev ett avslut på några trådar. Kan inte riktigt minnas att jag läst hela boken. En till finns det översatt, sen får man fortsätta på engelska. Så då fortsätter jag väl med nästa bok.........more

Goodreads review by Mark on April 15, 2010

It has been 16 years since I first picked up the first Deverry novel, DaggerSpell, and here in am, 16 years later, about to finish the fifteenth and final one. Has the journey been worth it? Yes. Was the wait too long? Yes. I would not recommend anyone starts reading the Deverry cycle unless they inte......more

Goodreads review by Kathi on January 14, 2017

The author spends about a third of this book in what we have came to think of as the "past"--the end of the Civil Wars--and the other two thirds in the "present" with Dallandra, Rhodry, Jahdo, Niffa, Evandar, Raena, and Arzosah. Several long-running plot threads come together, a fitting end to this......more
