Katharine Kerr Knihy

Deverrským provinciím dlouhá léta vládne zmatek, který vrcholí únosem Rhodyho Maelwaedda, dědice aberwynského trůnu. Jill a elfí kouzelník Salamander se vydávají do vzdáleného Bardeku, kde drží Rhodryho v zajetí. Nesmrtelný kouzelník Nevyn, osudově připoután k Deverry, dochází k závěru, že pohromy dopadající na království pocházejí z jednoho zdroje: od mistra černé magie, který spřádá pavučinu zla, rozprostírající se z Bardeku až na druhou stranu oceánu. Nevyn si je vědom, že smrtící léčka je přichystána právě pro něho. Strhující mozaika inkarnací a magie se probouzí. Nastal čas znovu roztočit kolo osudu...

Od raného dětství se kolem Jill pohybovali magičtí obyvatelé Divoké země, kteří přicházeli z neviditelného a tajemného království. Dívenka netušila, že její neobyčejní přátelé představují záblesk dávné minulosti a osudové budoucnosti. Před čtyřmi sty lety způsobil mladý bezohledný lord smrt dvou nevinných lidí. Poté přísahal, že nedojde klidu, dokud nenapraví své chyby. Právě tím předurčil bouřlivý život Jill a jejích blízkých: vlastního otce, žoldáka Cullyna, zavrhnutého bojovníka Rhodryho Maelwaedda i mocného starce Nevyna. Všechny je očekávají nebezpečná a spletitá dobrodružství… a za vším leží poslání o němž bylo rozhodnuto před staletími.

Mocný kouzelník Nevyn putuje staletími a kolem něho prochází vášnivá a divoká deverrská historie. V minulosti se dopustil velkého omylu. Kamínek po kameni skládá mozaiku osudů lidí, kteří nejvýznamněji zasahují do běhu událostí. Nyní je však v sázce velká část jeho díla, neboť Nevyn zjišťuje, že Temná rada se nenápadně zapojuje do již tak spletité politiky válkou souženého Eldiddu. Její ničivá síla se probouzí přímo před Nevynovýma očima, který přes veškerou moc, kterou disponuje, pomalu dochází k poznání, že byla rozpoutaná nekontrolovatelná válka kouzel. Velkolepá sága pokračuje knihou Bouřící les, velikou a složitou mozaikou sporů, intrik a velké magie, přesahující hranice času a prostoru.

Po nekonečných deverrských cestách putují dva žoldáci, jejichž osud je skryt hluboko v srdci země. Lord Rhodry, který byl vyhnán z aberwynského dračího dvora, musí odhalit pravdu o svém otci, zatímco Jill, mistryně v boji s mečem, začíná tušit děsivou sílu své moci. Jeden muž zná pravdu - prastarý kouzelník Nevyn, kterého však svazují neporušitelné přísahy a nedovolují mu zasahovat do jejich životů. Zpovzdálí sleduje, jak se Rhodry a Jill dostávají do nebezpečí...
