Booktopia Comments

The Silver Mage is the 15th and final Deverry novel by Katharine Kerr, one of the most under rated series in recent times. First started back in 1986, the Deverry Cycle is set in the mythical realm of Annwn, colonised 2000 years ago by the Devetti, a Gallic tribe escaping the Roman invasion on Earth. Passing through a magical boundary they brought their language and culture to this other-world populated by elves, dragons and other beings.

Katharine Kerr has strived to make every book stand alone but the complex universe she has developed, complete with languages and an impressive historical chronology, makes this, the final book difficult to read first. I would highly recommend going right back to the beginning and reading Daggerspell.

The Silver Mage not only closes the entire Deverry Cycle, but also the story arc of The Silver Wyrm sub series. It is a completely satisfying conclusion to both and will leave long time fans hoping she changes her mind and returns to Deverry again someday.

Product Description

The fifteenth and final novel in the celebrated Deverry series, an epic fantasy rooted in Celtic mythology that intricately interweaves human and elven history over several hundred years.

Spurred on by the priestesses of the goddess Alshandra, the Horsekin hordes are massing on the northern border of Prince Dar's holdings. Their leaders believe that the rich grasslands of the prince's domain belong to them by divine right, no matter whom they must destroy to claim them.

But Dar has powerful allies on his side, including the dragon Arzosah, who has hated the Horsekin for hundreds of years. She will vow to take a revenge worse than anything the Horsekin and their priestesses could possibly foresee. The prince's most powerful ally, however, is the one the Horsekin refuse to understand: the deep magic of the dweomer, as wielded by the band of sorcerers sworn to protect him, and especially by the elven master of magic, Dallandra, the silver mage.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Katharine Kerr and the Deverry novels: 'An unusually scholarly writer of fantasy' Telegraph 'Much as I dislike comparing anything to The Lord of the Rings, I have to admit that on this occasion it's justified' Interzone 'Kerr is a master of her trade! She has created a world that might very well go on for ever, and this one reader sincerely hopes it does.'
