For Robert Reginald,
who is also Brother Theophilus:

faithful fellow venturer
into the exotic lands East of Gwynedd,
where many things are very different, indeed....
"Mark me well, my brother, for I tell you truly that Kelson of Gwynedd means to wed.
May contain spoilers
"- every man to do his duty!" she finished for him, laughing, just before he hushed all further commentary, at least with words, with the sweet questing of his lips to hers, tasting and then drinking deeply of her yielding in a heady union of duty with growing desire, as Kelson of Gwynedd at last came into his full kingship with his true queen.

"Kurtz's strengths lie in her patient accumulation of telling detail, well-articulated plots, and believable magics.  Should bring the fans flocking, and attract newcomers too."
- Kirkus Reviews

Speculation runs rampant throughout the kingdom of Gwynedd as to when, and to whom, King Kelson will finally be wed.  As a rival monarch takes his rightful place on the throne of a nearby land, it becomes more imperative than ever that Kelson produce a long-awaited heir.

With the mystical Deryni blood flowing through his veins, Kelson can only hope for a woman whose power and conviction are equal to his own.  Love is set aside for duty - and Kelson the king must make the choice that Kelson the man cannot....

"Ms. Kurtz creates compelling characters, a byzantine plot and magical wonder for a beguiling reading experience."
- Romantic Times

"Kurtz, one of the founders of modern historical fantasy, after nearly thirty years continues to be one of its most accomplished practitioners."
- Publishers Weekly

 Katherine Kurtz
Birth: 18 Oct 1944 Coral Gables, Florida, USA
Notes:
From About the Author in Bishop's Heir:

Katherine Kurtz was awarded a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Miami and attended medical school for a year before deciding she would rather write about medicine than practice it.  She earned an M.A. in medieval English history from UCLA while writing her first two novels, and worked as an instructional designer for the Los Angeles Police Academy for the next ten years.  She is also a professionally trained hypnotist, an avid horsewoman, and an avowed cat person.  She has a husband who wears kilts, a ten-year-old son named Cameron, a vintage Bentley motorcar once owned by HRH the Duke of Kent, and hopes soon to live in a castle in Ireland.  Besides the Deryni Trilogy, the Camber Trilogy, and several short stories set in the Deryni universe, she has recently published a World War II thriller, Lammas Night, dealing with magic worked to keep Hitler from invading England in the summer of 1940.  She is currently at work on the second and third books of the Histories of King Kelson, with at least two more trilogies planned.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
