Narrative Toward Books Deryni Rising (The Chronicles of the Deryni #1)

In the land of Gwynedd, the Haldanes have long ruled and have long kept a dangerous secret: there are those of their blood who possess the magical powers of the Deryni. To be Deryni in a land ruled by the all-powerful Church is to be branded an outcast.

But now, young Prince Kelson is about to assume the throne after the mysterious death of his father. He must be told of his magical heritage. For his legacy is being challenged by a woman who does not hesitate to lay full claim to her Deryni powers. And to face her in magical combat, Kelson must learn a lifetime’s worth of magic in a few short days.

If he loses, he dies as his father did. And if he wins, he is King—but all the world will know that he is also Deryni…

Criticize Regarding Books Deryni Rising (The Chronicles of the Deryni #1)

I love it!It's pretty simple and straight forward fantasy but I don't care. I've been captivated from the first pages on and at times I had trouble to put the book down when I had to.My favourite characters is Morgan. He hits so many buttons of mine. Outsider/outcast finding a father figure and best friend who gets killed and know he is the father figure/best friend of the son. He is still an outsider due to his powers/heritage and people give him their cold shoulders - and he still saves their

I have come been vaguely aware of this series for years but somehow never read any of it when I was younger. With the first book on sale for Kindle I decided to finally give it a try. "Deryni Rising" was quick and fun to read (it only took my a day and a half to get through, and that's with a one year old around). The story is straightforward and there's no real depth here, but the characters were likeable and the world has the potential for more interesting stories. The biggest problem that I

It was years ago when I ran across Katherine Kurtz's Deryni novels. Oddly, I never read the first trilogy...I think as I get older I don't enjoy as much as I once might have stories of deception and the machinations of those who use lies, deception, and hatred to further their ends. Don't get me wrong, I know it goes on. It's probably the most common of "human activities". I didn't say I don't see it, I just said, it's not my chosen "mode of literary enjoyment".Here we are treated throughout the



Quite good for a first novel; heck, quite good even were it not a first novel. Not a secondary-world fantasy, precisely, but not set in our world either -- more of a one-and-a-half-ary world fantasy, I'd call it, where it seems to take place on our globe but in a very heavily modified version of the British isles.(I assume that it's our world because the religion is most definitely Christianity, complete with scripture quotes, and because there are a few Moors in the background.)The basic

Having had this book on my shelf for many a year, I finally picked it up and read it and have been kicking myself for not discovering this fabulous series earlier in my sci-fi/fantasy reading life. It reminded me of when I first discovered Anne McCaffrey's books. There is just something so sweet and simple about a well told story that doesn't require all the horror, language and gore a lot of other fantasy genre books believe they need to capture one's imagination. One reason why I won't touch

The first in the series Chronicles of the Deryni. I can see why so many like it, as it is a fast read with a strong plot and likeable characters. On to book two.
