Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Long, long ago in Deverry, Lillorigga, daughter of the Boar clan and cousin to the child-king, becomes enmeshed in the increasingly sinister politics at the palace of Dun Deverry. Not least among the plotters is Lilli's own mother, the enchantress Merodda. Lilli has inherited Merodda's powers, but not her taste for power. When Merodda orders the death of Lilli's foster mother, Bevyan, Lilli leaves Deverry swearing revenge. Her actions will have consequences not only in her time, but also in generations to come, as those who die are reincarnated.


From Library Journal

Kerr returns to her historical fantasy series about Deverry and the Westlands (Days of Blood and Fire, LJ 6/15/93; Days of Air and Darkness, LJ 6/15/94). Lillorigga, a young girl with magical powers to foretell the future, is forced to use them to her scheming mother's advantage. Secretly taught to control these powers for herself, Lillorigga must balance competing needs in this tale of Celtic palace politics and murder. While Kerr's thorough knowledge of Celtic lore shines throughout the novel, a reader new to the series should read the preceding books to understand references to earlier events. For collections where the series is popular.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book rules, Jan 16 2004
By Jason Sweeney (West Palm Beach FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Red Wyvern: Book One of the Dragon Mage (Mass Market Paperback)
Katherine Kerr is a master. I have never been so enchanted by a story. I have delved deeper than I ever thought possible. I have read the whole series 9 times and it keeps getting better. Pure genius. My brother feels the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's part of a series? LAME!, Aug 19 2002
By Kevin S. Johnson "kingskyloud" (Bemidji, MN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Red Wyvern: Book One of the Dragon Mage (Mass Market Paperback)
This book apparently is part of a many book long series, which you MUST read in order to understand it. Unfortunately, NO indication is given of this on the book itself. The story skips around through a series of non-related characters and sub-storylines that maybe make sense if you have read the rest, but as a standalone book it is worthless. The writing style is decent, but nothing is ever really explained well enough for you to piece things together. Usually when I pick up a book that is part of a series, the author explains things well enough that I can get an idea of 'what has happened before'. Not in this book. There are NO clues at all. It was very confusing.

4.0 out of 5 stars a little complicated at first, but very good, Feb 1 2002
By "kalthea" (far far away) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Red Wyvern: Book One of the Dragon Mage (Mass Market Paperback)
The dragon mage series are a part of a much larger project - the epic or the kingdom of Deverry.
We follow charachters in their several different lives all at once. We meet a charachter in his "present" life and in his past and future one. It is hard at first and you can get a little lost, but when you get it it is a delightfull story to read. It enchants you and then you spend almost a year cursing the author for not writing the last book of the series yet.
The storry is complex and the charachters develop nicely, although sometimes they lack some depth.
It is overall a good book to read for a more demanding mind.

I have found all of Katharine Kerr's books to be exceptional. She has created a whole world and filled its history with detailed characters and facinating plots. Read more

An OK book, though if not a bit too interconnected with the prior books in the series. Having read all the books in the Deverry series, it was not hard to follow. Read more

Wow, this book sure was hard to follow, I had to refer back to my copies of the first four books to recall who all those people were and what their part in the story was. Read more
