My favorite of all of Katherine Kurtz's books. Highly recommend!
The king's justice is swift . . . and it has to be. Poor Kelson!
More great stuff!!
The Histories of King Kelson is an excellent trilogy in the Deryni world. These are some of my favorite books. Love the setting and the psychic abilities.
A good book, Katherine Kurtz writes like the reader has an encyclopedia in front of them written to explain her book..
Pretty sure I read this at some point
