Perfect for you if...

You love intricate magic systems woven into medieval politics, where sorcery feels like a real force with consequences.
You're drawn to stories about family duty conflicting with personal vengeance, especially when magic complicates the moral stakes.
You appreciate character-driven fantasy that builds slowly, trusting readers to follow complex genealogies and political manoeuvres across generations.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced action throughout. This is deliberate, methodical storytelling that prioritises political scheming over battle scenes.
You prefer standalone novels. This is book one of a series, and it ends with threads that demand continuation.
You're new to Kurtz's world. Familiarity with the Deryni universe helps, though this can be read first.

About this book

In the medieval kingdom of Gwynedd, Camber is a Deryni noble—a member of a magical race whose arcane skills distinguish them from ordinary humans. For nearly a century, Camber's family has served the Festils, Deryni usurpers who used dark magic to seize the throne from the rightful Haldane line. Under the rule of King Imre, the kingdom suffers. His savage oppression of humans deeply troubles Camber, and his heart is shattered when the king and his evil mistress-sister Ariella cause the death of Camber's beloved son. Driven by demands for justice and vengeance, Camber leaves his family's estates to find the last surviving member of the Haldane line. This descendant of kings is reluctant to accept Camber's plan. Yet with the kingdom in turmoil, the aging mage and the reluctant heir must unite to confront the power of the Festils. This first book in Kurtz's medieval fantasy series contains suspense, action, adventure, and political intrigue.
