Summary

In the kingdom of Gwynedd, the mysterious forces of magic and the superior power of the Church combine to challenge the rule of young Kelson. Now the fate of the Deryni -- a quasi-mortal race of sorcerers -- and, indeed, the fate of all the Eleven Kingdoms, rests on Kelson's ability to quash the rebellion by any means necessary...including the prescribed use of magic!

DULL!!

Its not often I return a book, because I dislike the book. More often, I return a book because it has been ruined by a poor narrator. Not this time. I managed to listen to the entire book, only because I kept thinking that it would start to get interesting in a few minutes more. It didn't. The narrator just didn't have anything to work with, so his performance, as good as it might have been, just couldn't enliven a dreary, boring story. This book, and the rest of the books in this series will be returned, and I'll hopefully find something that is more entertaining.
