Book Description

The fantasy classic-revised and expanded.

New York Times bestselling Katherine Kurtz revisits the original trilogy of her career-launching Deryni Chronicles with this newly revised edition of High Deryni.

Kelson Haldane sits upon the throne of Gwynedd- the first king of Deryni heritage, possessing extraordinary magical abilities, to do so in centuries.

The priesthood of the Eleven Kingdoms decried the Deryni as witches and heretics generations ago, drove them underground, and usurped control of the kingdom. They have no intention of conceding their power-even if it means inciting civil war... --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.



From the Publisher

The late Lester del Rey had a theory about the biological seat of Deryni power, a theory that he could have related in astonishing specificity. I just remember that he said it must come from somewhere in the nose, something related to the olfactory senses. I always thought that wa snot a very glamourous way to look at an exciting, epic sweep of fantasy. But after all, magic has to come from somewhere.

--Veronica Chapman, Senior Editor --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A rather interesting Ending to the Trilogy, Avril 19 2001
Par Jason Gonella "philosopher" (Lancaster, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: High Deryni (Mass Market Paperback)
With this novel, the initial trilogy of the Deryni comes to a close, and in ways that are ultimately unexpected.

The previous volume left quite a mess for King Kelson to clean up, with a civil war to the south, an invading army to the north, a treasonous Earl, an adamantly opposed Archbishop, all lining up for various reasons against Kelson. His internal opponents are so blinded by their own dogmatic resistance to be able to comprehend that they are making their own situation worse by their opposition. They are convinced of the evil of the Deryni, and will oppose a Deryni Duke, even if it means that an evil Deryni warlord will invade and conquer.

King Wencit of Torenth already has the upper hand by his trechary, having slaughtered the armies in the north, the Cassini and Kheldish armies and is ready for pitched battle against a divided Gwynned. But even then, he has plans to skip the battle, a new plot and counterplot, a master schemer he is, pitting himself against both Gwynned and the Camberian Council.

There are a few interesting twists and a rather unsatisfying ending, but it does work out for the best, with no small amount of pain on the part of the victors. War is hell, and it is difficult to be king.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Good Ending, but Characters Still Underdeveloped, Déc 20 2000
Par jonnyrizz (Seattle, WA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: High Deryni (Mass Market Paperback)
The ending was a great surprise, and not the usual happy ending that we get thrown (I won't give it away). As a whole, the book was alright- much better than the other two. However, compared to most of the epic fantasies out there, this was weak. The characters were not nearly developed enough, and the dialogue was not a strong point. I'd say the series is worth your time, though.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Wonderful read, Déc 22 1999
This review is from: High Deryni (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this novel found a way to wrap everything up nicely from the preceedeing novels, yet still leave the readers wanting more. Mrs. Kurtz delved into her characters lives masterfully again, and it payed off completely. I loved the way everything came together, and the heroes were able to overcome. I also liked the way she accurately showed the "villains" points of view, so they seemed less "evil", then just simply prejudiced and wrong.

High Deryni is the conclusion to the cliffhanger of Deryni Checkmate. You must read the latter to understand this book, because everything is set up in that book. Read more
