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.....

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

From the paperback
A gripping new fantasy adventure from the author of the Deverry series, set far in the future on the strangely beautiful but inhospitable planet Snare.

The Kazraks arrived 800 years ago from the Homelands, determined to found a pure society and live simple lives based on the teachings of the three prophets. But the despotic rule of the Great Khan leads a small band to take drastic action. Following information from Yarl Soutan, a mysterious sorcerer from the far away Cantons, Captain Idres Warkannan and his nephew, Arkazo, set off to find the Great Khan’s younger brother, Jezro, and bring him back to stage a coup. But first they must cross the purple grassy plains inhabited both by the peace-loving comnees, and by the terrifying ChaMeech, intelligent beasts who regularly raid their borders.

Meanwhile Zayn Hassan, a loyal member of the Chosen, the Great Khan’s deadly secret service, is well on his way to successfully infiltrating a comnee in order to cross the plains and the Great Rift safely. His mission is to follow Yarl Soutan and find out what he’s doing leading the devoutly religious Kazraks to the decadent Cantons. But he hasn’t bargained for the simple pleasure of life on the plains, or the attractions of Ammadin, the comnee’s fiercely independent spirit rider.

As both parties journey across the plains they come to realise that there is more at stake than their individual quests. Centuries-old falsehoods are gradually revealed as all the factions begin to see that their histories and identities are not what they thought they were.

Combining the dazzling invention of her SF with the gripping adventure of her bestselling Deverry series, Katharine Kerr has created a truly unique and thrilling literary fusion.

From the Trade Paperback

Set on the desolate and inhospitable planet of Snare, this is a gripping new fantasy set in the far future about the centuries-long conflict between the human colonists and the alien inhabitants.

Many years ago, the people of Earth threw themselves into the far-flung depths of space, eager to colonise the stars. Many perished, but some were fortunate enough to find sustainable planets. The colonists who came to Snare were not so lucky.

Centuries later they have adapted to life on this harsh and unforgiving planet, but have lost all traces of their technological past, living now in rugged simplicity. However, the elements are not their only foe because Snare is home to an alien species, the ChaMeech, who bitterly resent the colonists’ claim on the planet’s precious and diminishing land.

As volcanoes lay waste to the planet, and political rivalries threaten to disrupt the colonists’ tyrannous empire, the ChaMeech prepare for one final battle…

Combining the dazzling invention of her SF with the gripping adventure of her bestselling Deverry series, Katharine Kerr has created a truly unique and enjoyable literary fusion.

As the tale of Deverry and her people draws to a close, questions will be answered and mysteries uncovered...

The wild Northlands hold many secrets, among them the mysterious dweomer island of Haen Marn, the mountain settlements of Dwarvholt, and the fortified city of Cerr Cawnen, built long ago by escaping bondmen from Deverry itself. And just who or what are the mysterious Dwgi folk?

Thanks to the Horsekin, who continue to push their religious crusade south toward the borders of the kingdom, the human beings of Deverry and their elven allies realize that the fate of the Northlands lies tangled with their own. Although the dwarven race holds strong, the island of Haen Marn has fled and Cerr Cawnen seems doomed. Only the magic of Dallandra and Valandario and the might of the powerful dragons, Arzosah and Rori, can reveal the secrets and save the Northlands from conquest.
