About the Author

Katharine Kerr first became involved in the field of fantasy through role-playing games, becoming so intrigued that she began writing articles for gaming magazines, and for some time was a contributing editor to Dragon magazine. This interest soon led her into the field of fantasy writing, with her first Deverry novel, Daggerspell, appearing in 1986. Since then, she has written fourteen more Deverry novels, of which The Silver Mage is the latest, as well as other fantasy and science fiction novels. Her Deverry novels have hit the London Times and the Australian bestseller lists.

All of these books in this series (and I have read them all) are absolutely spellbinding. You are on the edge of your seat waiting for the next episode. Well written and extremely exciting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Continuation, June 18, 2009

If you are looking to get into this series, I wouldn't recommend this book as a first, but that is the only reason why I didn't give it a 5. It would be like reading the second half of Tolkien's Two Towers. Without reading the summery. Start with Daggerspell, the first book of the series. If you are willing to put the time into this series, it is excellent, richly coloured, well-written, and complex. The Spirit Stone is another from Kerr's mould. One extra positive is that the characters in The Spirit Stone are mostly established ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging continuation to an excellent series, December 15, 2011

One aspect of Kerr's Deverry series I like best is how she weaves past actions into the present conditions, the Celtic Knot as she calls it. The cycle of wyrd is what she calls karma. For those of a more physical bent, call it Newton's Third Law of Motion, paraphrased to mean: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Will the souls of Nevin, Cullyn, Rhodry, and Jill finally work out their enmeshed karma from past mind passions like anger, lust and vanity? Will Salamander recover from wasting his life being a chattering elf? Many other stories are swept up into this ongoing saga, written against the background of a impending invasion by an ancient enemy to all the allied races.

Kerr's Deverry series is the most extensive and enthralling series I have ever read, and this book is a positive contribution to that effort.
