![]() ![]() Kerr, who must now be in her late 60s, gave her die-hard fans quite a scare in the early 2000s when due to poor health her publishing rate suffered a considerable down turn. This Celtic-influence fantasy is written in a non-linear style and was started as a ‘short story’ project in 1982, when the floodgates opened. The world of Deverry is unfurled around him as he searches for each incarnation of his soul mate in the hopes of bringing her to the Dweomer. ![]() ![]() Have you ever sacrificed what might have been your soul mate to walk another path?

From the first novel (which I must have read more than 10 years ago) I was hooked and my enthusiasm for this series carried me through to the very last and then moved me to tears. Published over the past two and a half decades, I was surprised to find no mention on FBR of this epic fantasy saga that has been so much a part of my life and that I hold in such high regard. ![]()

Physicians prescribed mercury enemas, arsenic skin cream, drinks of lead filings and potions of human fat and skull, fresh from the executioner. Ironically, royals terrified of poison were unknowingly poisoning themselves daily with their cosmetics, medications and filthy living conditions. Servants licked the royal family's spoons, tried on their underpants and tested their chamber pots. To avoid poison, they depended on tasters, unicorn horns and antidotes tested on condemned prisoners. The story of poison is the story of power.įor centuries, royal families have feared the gut-roiling, vomit-inducing agony of a little something added to their food or wine by an enemy. ![]() |
