branded an outcast.

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 Kingbut all the world will know that he is also
Deryni...
