High Deryni (The Chronicles of the Deryni series Book 3) Kindle Edition

With young King Kelson on the throne of Gwynedd, the priesthood of the Eleven Kingdoms felt its control deeply threatened. For Kelson was half Deryni -- part of that race of humans gifted with extrasensory powers...a race that had ruled two centuries earlier, but was dethroned and driven underground.

Now, the final battle for ultimate power was about to break into open conflict, led by the Church which equated the supernatural powers of the Deryni with witchcraft and heresy!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It's Clear That Katherine Kurtz is a Great New Talent in the Field of Fantasy. The Books Have the Promise of Tolkien or Eddison ..."

From the Publisher

The late Lester del Rey had a theory about the biological seat of Deryni power, a theory that he could have related in astonishing specificity. I just remember that he said it must come from somewhere in the nose, something related to the olfactory senses. I always thought that wa snot a very glamourous way to look at an exciting, epic sweep of fantasy. But after all, magic has to come from somewhere.

--Veronica Chapman, Senior Editor

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read

As usual, great read! Your storyline and subplots bring an imagination of excitement and intrigue; which brings one to question how the protagonists will survive a particular episode. Looking forward to reading more of your books, I'm hooked!

I enjoyed the mix of religion and magic. The ending wrapped up a little too quickly although I did like that it wasn't a perfectly clean ending. It was well placed and a fun read. This was a fitting end to the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying end to the Chronicles of the Deryni series
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018

What an utterly satisfying end to the trilogy that started with Deryni Rising and continued in Deryni Checkmate. There is no question who is doing evil things or who is doing the right things. Kelson comes into his own, albeit in a harsh situation. My favorite quotation is this one: "Human or Deryni, we share at least one common bond—and it is thicker than blood or oath or any spell that one might bind from the outer darkness. It is the sure and certain knowledge that we side with the Light. And he who would side with Darkness can only be our enemy, no matter what his blood or oath or spell."

Start with Deryni Rising and you will find an author growing in her skills and a powerful story of choices that are made and the consequences thereof.

Katherine Kurtz books are spell-binding. This one is no different and definitely doesn't disappoint the reader. I first read her Deryni series books in the 80's and 90's. Now in 2016 I am re-reading the series and am enjoying it as much now as when I read them the first time.

I have read the entire Deryni saga several times. This was the first trilogy written. Chronologically, Camber of Culdi comes first, if you are able to find a copy. I have always enjoyed this series. It is well written and holds your attention from the beginning!

Fantastic, haven't finished it yet, but so far the good guys ultimately seem to come out on top, I do not like it when the bad guys win... lots of intrigue too!

The first three books of the Deryni chronicles are ones I have loved for many years. They are the beginning of the storyline and the first 6 books including the Camber of Culdi books are my utmost favorites and because over time I had lost my copies and I wanted to re-read them I was estatic to find these available!

This book was fantastic! A must read for anyone who is interested in mid-evil fantasy. Also, if you are interested in the poitical nature of those who are wizards and those who are not (Christians).
