Cover Art: Geoff Taylor (illustratore). 1994 Edition. © 1993: 3rd in the 'Deverry: Westlands' series of books. 1st printing of 1994 edition. Also published under the title 'Days Of Blood And Fire':- Synopsis: Myth, magic and epic imagination, the fantasy sage of the decade. In the peaceful land of the Rhiddaer, Jahdo the ratcatcher's son stumbles unwittingly upon a clandestine meeting - between an ambitious councilman and a dangerous, mysterious woman. So begins a sequence of events that tangles Jahdo in a web of intrigue and black magic which will drag him far from his beloved home. In the company of Meer, an eyeless bard of the Horsekin, Jahdo must journey to Deverry to unravel the evil that binds him. Soon he is caught up in dangers greater than any of his kind could ever have conceived. Two powerful sorcerers are battling to save the country from a goddess gone mad. If they don't succeed, the consequences would be unthinkable:- Review(s): "Katharine Kerr is one of the few writers who have been able to grasp the true essence of Celtic myth. When you open one of her books there's a great rush of sensory detail. For that reason, combined with a wolf's nose of a sense for storytelling, I read Katharine Kerr: And you should too" - John Gilbert, Fear:- (original cost £4.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: Geoff Taylor (illustratore). 2001 Edition. © 2000: 3rd of the 'Deverry: Dragon Mage' series of books. 1st printing of 2001 edition:- Synopsis: Rhodry Maelwaedd, the mad beserker, and his blood-sworn enemy Raena, shape-changer and prophet, forged their chain of hatred during Deverry's civil wars. Then they lived as Maddyn the bard and Lady Merodda, a dabbler in poisons and forbidden magicks whose evil deeds claimed lives that Maddyn held dear. Not even the mighty dweomermaster Nevyn and his apprentice Lilli could undo the harm that Merodda worked or prevent Maddyn from swearing a vengeance-vow that has shouldered down the centuries. Now Rhodry and Reana are to meet again far from the Kingdom of Deverry. Their blood-feud threatens to destroy the peaceful city of Cerr Cawnen. The elven dweomermaster Dallandra must summon every power and ally at her disposal to finally break the chains of their Wyrd and save thousands of innocent lives:- Review(s): "An unusually scholarly writer of fantasy" - Daily Telegraph / "Much as I dislike comparing anything to 'The Lord Of The Rings', I have to admit that on this occasion it's justified" - Interzone / "An extensive and complete world, whose endlessly fascinating details grow book by book" - Starlog:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condizione: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: Geoff Taylor (illustratore). 1998 Edition. © 1997: 1st in the 'Deverry: Dragon Mage' series of books. Unknown publication date. 2nd printing of 1998 edition:- Synopsis: A new chapter of the history of the kingdom of Deverry - an ideal starting point for newcomers to Katharine Kerr's gorgeous epic, and a satisfying continuation of the saga for those readers who have followed the series through its previous incarnations. In Cengarn, Rhodry of the silver daggers - half-elven, half-human - is beset by strange dreams. A dark-haired enchantress, the Raven Woman, is haunting his sleep, and he can find no release, even in the arms of Dallandra, his lover. Little does he know that his feud with the Raven Woman goes back over three hundred years, to a time when the very throne of Deverry stood under threat of civil war. In those days, the young king's cousin, Lilli, was forced by her scheming mother to scry for omens, and she saw terrible visions: great red wyverns sweeping down from the mountains to plunge like hawks upon a herd of feeding swine. The fancies of an idle mind? Or omens foretelling bloodshed and disaster for the clan of the Boar:- Review(s): Praise for Katharine Kerr and the 'Deverry' novels: "An unusually scholarly writer of fantasy" - The Telegraph / "One of the top fantasists of her generation. Much as I dislike comparing anything to 'The Lord Of The Rings', I have to admit that on this occasion it's justified" - Interzone:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: Geoff Taylor (illustratore). 1993 Edition. © 1992: 2nd in the 'Deverry: Westlands' series of books. 1st printing of 1993 edition:- Synopsis: A fascinating and dramatic journey through the mysterious Western Lands. in her last novel of the Deverry Saga, 'A Time of Exile', Katharine Kerr started a new part of the story: The Westlands Cycle, in which she explores the history of the Elycion Lacar, the elves who inhabit the strange lands to the west of Deverry. 'A Time Of Omens' takes up many threads in the rich tapestry of Deverry's history: it tells of Dallashandra's struggle to help Evandar's people - the strange and evanescent Guardians - survive, by finding them a new home on the material plane. It charts the progress of the Deverry civil wars during the ninth century, and especially focuses on the return of the true king - Maryn - to Dun Cerrmor and his marriage to the young Bellyra; of Rhodry's adventurings as a silver dagger during the wars; and of the strange talisman entrusted to his keeping. And we meet once more the seductive and infuriating Salamander as he searches for and finds a lost love; and witness the beginning of Jill's search for the lost elves of the Southern Isles:- (original cost £4.99).

Cover Art: Geoff Taylor (illustratore). 2000 Edition. © 1999: 2nd in the 'Deverry: Dragon Mage' series of books. 1st printing of 2000 edition:- Synopsis: At the end of the civil wars, Prince Maryn sees peace finally within his grasp. But powerful sorcery threatens to tear his life, his reign and his troubled kingdom apart. Only Lilli, a young apprentice, can see the horrifying power of the curse that could visit disaster on them all. Yet what use is untried magic in the fight to save her beloved Prince? Centuries later this ancient evil rises again, bringing the prospect of an endless war that will destroy Deverry for ever. Deadly armies, led by the savage goddess Alshadra are gathering in the lonely Northlands. Directly in their path lies the peaceful city of Cerr Cawnen:- Review(s): "In a rivetting dual narrative that deftly weaves past and present histories of Deverry together, Kerr shows her unique skill at creating exceptional characters caught up in exceptional times in a world at once fantastic but also grittily realistic and moving" / "Much as I dislike comparing anything to 'The Lord Of The Rings', I have to admit that on this occasion it's justified" - Interzone / "An extensive and complete world, whose endlessly fascinating details grow book by book" - Starlog:- (original cost £6.99).

Vida, an unmarked girl living in an up-market brothel, The Close, and Arno, heir to the head of the Cyberguild - overseers of the virtual reality computer network, the Map.

And if the secret of Vida's heritage proves to be true the current First Citizen, Karlo Peronida, could find her very useful.

Light tanning to text block:- Synopsis: In despair at the corruption of his ruler, the despotic Great Khan, Captain Idres Warkannan sets out towards the far-distant Cantons in search of a new leader. His hope is that the Great Khan's long-lost younger brother, Jezro, will return with him and end the suffering of his people. A devoutly religious Kazrak, he is dependent on the guidance of the mysterious Canton sorcerer, Yarl Soutan, to cross the vast plains of purple grass in safety. But Soutan is shadowed by a loyal member of the Chosen, the Great Khan's deadly secret service: Zayn Hassan has infiltrated a tribe of peace-loving nomads in order to carry out his spying mission. He certainly hasn't bargained for the simple pleasure of life on the plains, or the attractions of Ammadin, the tribe's fiercely independent spirit rider. Journeying across the grass, both parties gradually come to realize that more is at stake than their individual quests. One by one, centuries-old falsehoods are revealed as all the factions begin to discover the unsettling truth that their histories and identities are far less dependable than they had believed:- (original cost £12.99).
