Camberof Culdi,

most powerful of the magical Deryni racy, was worried. Twełve years before, hc had "diecT and assumed the form of Bishop Allister Cullen, ti» cder to guide the human king Cinhil and ensure peace between Deryni and humans in Gwyncdd. In most ways, he and the Camberun Council he headed had been successful.

But now Cinhil was dying, leaving the kingdom to his siekły young son AIroy in whose na me a council of regents would govem. And Camber knew those regents to be evil men, greedy for power and filled with hatred for all Deryni.

Once they ruled, no Deryni would be safe.

Already the persecutions were beginning, with terror, rapine and genocide soon to follow. Even the Church could

offer no surę refuge.

The only hope of Camber and the Council lay in a discovery by the Healer Rhys, w ho had leamed—without understanding—to błock off all Deryni talents. So blocked, i some few Deryni might go underground, undetectable as " other than mereły human.

But that meant that the race of Deryni could be saved only by being destroyed as Deryni!
