In the Histories of King Kelson series, we catch a few glimpses of Duncan McLain's painfully brief marriage to Maryse MacArdry before he entered holy orders after her death. This is their story-a tale of youthful love, loss, restoration, and healing. Rated T: for childbirth complications and mentions of reproductive facts that aren't "adults only," but aren't kindergarten level.
For a century the exiled Festils have sought to reclaim their former kingdom of Gwynedd. For just as long the Haldane kings have stood against the Festils and tried to reconcile their human subjects to the sorcerous Deryni. The lines have been drawn and armies are on the march. Three kings are converging upon an obscure village about to go down in history as the Killingford.
A Deryni Tale set in the Kingdom of Gwynedd from the world of Katherine Kurtz. Between the stories of Camber of Culdi and King Kelson are years of Deryni persecution and Torenthi wars. I wish to offer a tale of action and romance for two Deryni, Sir Washburn and Jessamyn, and their adventures to find each other and survive the culture in which they are born.
2130. Gwynedd has long since been conquered and subjugated by the Aelian Empire. Her name was changed to break the people's will and, for a long time, it worked but the unlikely discovery of a Haldane has sparked thoughts of rebellion anew. As the rebels wait for their moment, an Aelian prince has been sent to re-subjugate them.
Jäna de Tehryn must learn to cope with life at home withouth her two brothers. They remain in Rhemuth, training as royal pages, while she begins to learn the duties of a proper young lady. How will she manage with two-thirds of life as she knew it so far away?
All children get into mischief, and Deryni children are no exception. (This is an earlier story that I neglected to publish in sequence.)
Sextus Arilan, black sheep of the Arilan family, has enjoyed a life of carefree irresponsibility for far too long, but all good things must come to an end. Might his freedoms eventually be replaced by even greater joys? Perhaps...if Sextus can survive all the pestersome females in his life and the challenges they keep throwing in his way!
