The King's Justice

In the tumultuous realm of Gwynedd, King Kelson Haldane faces a kingdom on the precipice of civil war and widespread religious strife. Though beloved for his humanity, Kelson is also reviled for his Deryni blood, a magical race historically feared by the populace. The malevolent Bishop Loris, driven by dark intentions, conspires with Queen Caitrin, the Pretender of Meara, who seeks to reclaim her homeland from Gwyneddan rule. Loris's true aim is to reignite a brutal holy war against the Deryni, using Caitrin's secessionist campaign as a catalyst. As Kelson and his army are drawn away from the royal court to confront these external threats, a sinister assassination plot brews within the very heart of his kingdom, jeopardizing not only his reign but the future of Gwynedd itself. This chronicle plunges readers into a vibrant world of majesty, ancient magic, perilous political maneuvering, and deeply entrenched intolerance.
