About
The breathtaking history of the Deryni continues as the greatest hero of a medieval fantasy realm is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice The evil king is dead, and thanks to the efforts of revered Deryni magic-user Camber of Culdi, a human liege occupies the throne of Gwynedd for the first time in nearly a century. The yoke of tyranny has finally been lifted from the shoulders of an oppressed people who suffered for decades under the cruelty of the ruling magical race. But Camber's job remains unfinished. The dangerous remnants of a conquered enemy still mass at the borders. Worse still, the former monk and new ruler King Cinhil is desperately unhappy wearing the crown, and is resentful of all Deryni, Camber in particular, and their arcane abilities. Now, with the stability of a fragile kingdom at stake, its greatest champion must make the ultimate sacrifice: Camber of Culdi must cease to exist.

"Kurtz's love of history lets her do things with her characters and their world that no non-historian could hope to do."
Chicago Sun-Times on The Bishop's Heir
"Kurtz is queen of the proliferating fantasy subgenre that adds a magical element to dynastic historical romances. . . . [She possesses] a rare craftsmanship with narrative exposition that is also dramatic and moving."
Chicago Sun-Times on The Bishop's Heir
"Anybody can write about magic, but it takes a special talent to convince the reader that the magic is real. Saint Camber is Katherine Kurtz's best book to date-unqualified. It has everything I enjoy in a book: magic, wonder, heroism, adventure, real people I can love and hate . . . and that marvelous blend of fantasy, medievalism and reality. A winner!"
