Two centuries before King Kelson’s reign, the kingdom of Gwynedd lies under the oppressive rule of the Festillic kings and their Deryni supporters. Camber MacRorie, Earl of Culdi, is one of the realm’s most respected Deryni nobles. Realizing that tyranny threatens both humans and Deryni alike, Camber allies himself with the hidden Haldane heir, Prince Cinhil, to overthrow the corrupt regime. Their struggle will forever alter the destiny of Gwynedd and establish the legendary Haldane dynasty.
