Only Nevyn's young apprentice, Lilli, can see the horrifying power of the curse, her dead mother's legacy of evil, that could bring disaster upon them all. But she has only untried magic for a weapon as she fights to save her beloved prince.
Centuries later, the ancient evil rises again, threatening a raging tide of war that could destroy Deverry forever.

A new chapter of the history of the kingdom of Deverry - an ideal starting point for newcomers to Katherine Kerr's gorgeous epic; and a satisfying continuation of the saga for those readers who have followed the series through its previous incarnations.

In Cengarn, Rhodry of the silver daggers - half-elven, half-human - is beset by strange dreams. A dark-haired enchantress, the Raven Woman, is haunting his sleep, and he can find no release, even in the arms of Dallandra, his lover.

Little does he know that his feud with the Raven Woman goes back over three hundred years, to a time when the throne of Deverry stood under threat of civil war. In those days, the young king's counsin, Lilli, was forced by her scheming mother to scry for omens, and she saw terrible visions: great red wyverns sweeping down from the mountains to plunge like hawks upon a herd opf feeding swine.....

The fancies of an idle mind? Or omens foretelling bloodshed and disaster for the clan of the Boar?

Mistress of a magic that, untamed, could kill her, Lilli brings her terrifying visions under the kindlier tutelage of the mysterious dweomermaster, Nevyn. But soon she must choose between her own clan and the true king who fights to claim his rightful throne, between sanctuary and blood feud, loyalty and love. Little does she dream that the slaughter she invites, and the malevolence she defies, could stalk her across the ages...twisting and twining the strands of timeless destinies.

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 material plane.


It charts the progress of the Deverry civil wars during the ninth century, and especially focuses on the return of the true 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 seductive and infuriating Salamander as he searches for and finds a lost love; and witness the beginning of Jill's search for the lsot elves of the Southern Isles
