Orphaned by a cholera epidemic, Neb and his young brother are sent to the desolate farm of their last living relative. But when the savage Horsekin tribes begin raiding the villages along Deverry's western border, the brothers must flee for their lives. A chance encounter with Salamander—a bard and master of dweomer magic—proves their salvation, as he brings them to the shelter of Tieryn Cadryc's dun. Here Neb finds love with his soulmate Branna only to be dragged into a war for the very survival of the kingdom.

The city of Cengarn is under siege. Armies both astral and physical are massing for and against the goddess Alshandra, who seeks to prevent the birth of one fate-bound child. It falls to the dweomermaster Jill and her allies to protect the child's human mother, Princess Carra—and Deverry's already foretold future—by magic and by might. But as the warrior Rhodry wings toward the battle on dragonback, he cannot know that soon he will face his ancient enemy, Alshandra's high priestess Raena, who will use any means to destroy him.

Katharine Kerr opens new territory, exploring the history of the Elcyion Lacar, the elves who inhabit the country west of Deverry. It is years since the half-elven Lord Rhodry took the throne of Aberwyn. When Rhodry's lost lover, Jill—now a powerful wizard—comes and tells him it's time he accepted his elven heritage, Rhodry faces the most difficult choice of his life. With Jill's help and that of a human wizard named Aderyn who has lived for years in the westlands, Rhodry begins to understand how his life is connected not just to his own people, but to the Elcyion Lacar as well.

These books were a huge part of my childhood and I own every single one, though I haven't read them in a few years. So when I discovered that there were audiobook versions I could listen to while driving/washing dishes/showering, I was thrilled. Even more so when the narrator turned out to be amazing with the exact voice and accents that improve an already great experience.
You can imagine how sad I was when I thought the book before this was the last audiobook I was getting. I think I had just come to terms with it, when out of nowhere this one comes out. With Ruth still! Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen and please keep doing wat you're doing.
As for the book, I appreciate it even more years later. This one definitely feels like the beginning of a series, which it is, but if you haven't read the rest of the Deverry novels, you need to do so. This entire series is a well written, well thought out story that dips back and forth in time, filling out major historical events as it goes. It's a kind of alternative history of a Celtic culture that continued to evolve without any major outside influence, mixed in with a magic system that feels both very specific and kind of vague at the same time. It isn't flashy, but all the better for it. You get the impression that Dweomer is almost a science in its early stages where everyone has a different version of it and are only slowly figuring out how it all works as they're going along.
In my opinion these books never received as much attention as they deserve and I can only hope they become more popular with the superb quality of the audiobooks. Please. Keep. Making. These.

Many years have passed since three warriors brought carnage and chaos to Silver Lake. Now the tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. The town has recovered and yet the legacy remains. Responding to reports of a growing unease among the tribes beyond the border, the Malazan army marches on the new god’s people. They aren't quite sure what they're going to be facing. And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor.

Don't let negative reviews mislead you, this feels like a Malazan novel and the narrator is great. Done people are complaining about pronunciation, but this might be the first time that they actually DID check with the author, as everything is pronounced the way Erikson pronounces it. Her voices for characters are great, too. Different, but great. Especially the Malazans
