With young King Kelson on the hrone of Gwynedd, the priesthood of the Eleven Kingdoms feels its control deeply threatened, for Kelson is half-Deryni - part of the race of humans gifted with extrasensory powers, a race that ruled two centuries earlier, but was dethroned and driven underground. So, the battle for final power is about to break into open conflict, led by the Church which equates the supernatural powers of the Deryni with witchcraft and heresy!
