About this listen

On the long roads of Deverry ride two mercenaries whose fates lie hidden deep in that of their own land. But Lord Rhodry, exiled from the dragon court of Aberwyn, has yet to discover his true parentage, and his swordmaster-lover, Jill, has barely glimpsed her awesome powers.

Meanwhile, the ancient sorcerer Nevyn, held back by his vows from boldly intervening in their lives, can only watch and wait as Rhodry and Jill move ever closer to danger. For as the two struggle to recover the Great Stone, the mystic jewel that guides the conscience of the kingship of Deverry, malevolent dark masters are weaving terrifying spells against them - and displacing messengers of death.

Katharine Kerr has extensively rewritten Darkspell, incorporating major changes in the text, making this her definitive edition. Here the epic saga that began with Daggerspell continues - a tale of might and magic, lust and glory, dark danger, and poignant desires that echo from Deverry's sapphire waters to its secret mountain caverns. It's a spellbinding story destined to please fantasy lovers everywhere.

Many years have past since I last read this series. One of my favourite authors, one of my favourite stories. Listening to it was a joy

World building at an elite level

I feel sick to find that a book I loved when I was young (and hence oblivious) is horribly bigoted in the most clumsy and overt way. Disgraceful.

Homophobic to the point where I couldn't continue

A well loved series.. I really loved these books years ago and was excited to find them on Audible. BUT. disappointing to listen to.. Ruth does a great job of the voices, but the monotone, lack of expression in the rest of the narration is really off-putting.. moving from one chapter or scene to another without any light and shade sometimes made it really hard to follow.

Great story.. narration lets it down. :(
