Daggerspell
Katherine Kerr
BANTAM Books, 199
ISBN:0-553-56521-4 (paperback)
Even as a young girl, Jill was a favorite of the magical, mysterious
Wildfolk, who appeared to her from their invisible realm. Little did she
know her extraordinary friends represented but a glimpse of a forgotten
past and a fateful future. Four hundred years-and many lifetimes-ago,
one selfish young lord caused the death of two innocent lovers. Then
and there he vowed never to rest until he'd rightened that wrong-and
laid the foundation for the lives of Jill and all those whom she would
hold dear: her father, the mercenary soldier Cullyn; the exiled berserker
Rhodry Maelwaedd; and the ancient and powerful herbman Nevyn, all
bound in a struggle against darkness. . . and a quest to fulfill the
destinies determined centuries ago. Here in this newly revised edition
comes the incredible novel that began one of the best-loved fantasy
seers in recent years--a tale of bold adventure and timeless love,
perilous battle and pure magic. For long-standing fans of Deverry and
those who have yet to experience this exciting series, Daggerspell is a
rare and special treat.
