Publisher's summary

On the long roads of Deverry ride two mercenaries whose fates lie hidden deep in that of their own land. But Lord Rhodry, exiled from the dragon court of Aberwyn, has yet to discover his true parentage, and his swordmaster-lover, Jill, has barely glimpsed her awesome powers.

Meanwhile, the ancient sorcerer Nevyn, held back by his vows from boldly intervening in their lives, can only watch and wait as Rhodry and Jill move ever closer to danger. For as the two struggle to recover the Great Stone, the mystic jewel that guides the conscience of the kingship of Deverry, malevolent dark masters are weaving terrifying spells against them - and displacing messengers of death.

Katharine Kerr has extensively rewritten Darkspell, incorporating major changes in the text, making this her definitive edition. Here the epic saga that began with Daggerspell continues - a tale of might and magic, lust and glory, dark danger, and poignant desires that echo from Deverry's sapphire waters to its secret mountain caverns. It's a spellbinding story destined to please fantasy lovers everywhere.

I have been hanging to reread this amazing author

The narrator does this author's work justice, it is a very involved plot and so skilfully woven.

So looking forward to the next in the series.

Second step of a long journey

Decided to cheat and read wiki about book book series after a beloved character dies. Looks like there is a long journey ahead, covering multiple lifetimes. Thing is, I enjoy the story while listening, but then I wonder where is it going? And characters keep dying, apparently again and again. I do wonder why characters’ personal histories were not a tangled mess of past incarnations at the beginning of the story in book one. Recommend making a cheat sheet of names and terms while listening; I have a hard time hearing and comprehending weird words.
