Katharine Kerr's novels of the Kingdom of Beverly Daggerspell Darkspell and The Bristling Wood unfold in a world of stunning richness and depth. Kerr's vivid portrait of characters caught in a complex web of fate and magic captures the imagination with a realism that few can match. Now, with The Dragon Revenant, Katharine Kerr returns to the Kingdom of Deverry; where the wheels of destiny are turning anew. For years the provinces of Deverry have been in turmoil-and now; agents of the Dark Brotherhood are maneuvering to poison the minds of its people. The conflict escalates with the kidnapping of Rhodry Maelwaedd, heir to the throne of Aberwyn. Intent on rescuing him, his beloved Jill and the elver wizard Salamander infiltrate the distant land of Bardek, where Rhodry is held captive.

Tied to Deverry by obligation and circumstance, the immortal wizard Nevyn begins to see that all of the kingdom's problems can be traced to a single source his ancient enemy, a master of dark magics, backed by a network of evil that stretches across the sea. With this realization, Nevyn understands that he too is being lured away to Bardek, and into a subtle, deadly trap designed especially for him.

Traveling on separate roads, Nevyn, Salamander, Jill, and Rhodry approach a confrontation that could very well break the merciless chains of Fate forged by a vow made four hundred year before. It is a confrontation that could change not only their own lives, but the very destiny of Deverry itself, forever.
