A FASCINATING AND DRAMATIC
JOURNEY THROUGH THE MYSTERIOUS
WESTERN LANDS
In her last novel of the Deverry saga, A Time of Exile, Katherine 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 materra plane.
It charts the progress of the Deverry civil wars during the ninth century, and especially tocuses on the return of the tru 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 seductiverand infuriating
