Sword of Fire

About the book

The DEVERRY series, a renowned epic fantasy steeped in Celtic mythology, masterfully intertwines the histories of humans and elves across centuries.

Bards serve as both the voice and weapon of the people.

In the realm of Deverry, the common folk are clamoring for change to strip power from the ruling class: a reform of the corrupt judicial system. In Aberwyn, tensions reach a boiling point when a bard dies from a hunger strike rather than the authorities addressing the grievances of the populace.

However, this state of affairs has not always prevailed.

Alyssa, a pupil and successor of the deceased bard, uncovers evidence that could upend the oppressive regime - hidden within an ancient tome located in a distant place. Despite the risks posed by ruthless nobles intent on maintaining their status quo, as well as the myriad dangers along the way - from dragons to secrets of the royal court - Alyssa bravely volunteers to retrieve the crucial text.

A fateful encounter with a rugged yet charming stranger, a street riot, and Alyssa embarks on her mission, whether fully prepared or not.

The time for justice to prevail has arrived.

The inaugural installment of a trilogy in the epic fantasy genre introduces newcomers to the enchanting world of Deverry, while captivating fans of author Kerr. A tale of rebellion and empowerment that seamlessly blends magic, politics, and daring escapades in a setting that resonates long after the final page is turned.
