Books like The black raven by Katharine Kerr
Katharine Kerr’s latest volume in her sprawling Deverry and Westlands cycle shifts between several key locations: the ruined realm of Rhiddaer, the concluding phases of the Civil Wars, and the city of Cerr Cawnen. Apprenticed to the art of dweomer, Lilli struggles to protect Prince Maryn with her raw powers. Centuries later, the sorceress Raena schemes against her long‑time enemy, Rhodry Maelwaedd, reawaken the ancient evil and summon the wrath of the dragon guardian. Only another untried dweomer can save the city—and the berserker—at a great cost.
