The Westlands Cycle 2:A Time of Omens by Katharine Kerr

Description: A fascinating and dramatic journey through the mysterious western lands.

In her last novel of the Deverry saga, A Time of Exile, Katharine Kerr started a new part of the story: The Westlands Cycle, in which she explores the history of the Elycion Lacar, the elves who inhabit the strange lands to the west of Deverry.

A Time of Omens takes up many threads in the rich tapestry of Deverry's history; it tells of Dallashandra's [this is an error - it should be Dallandra] struggle to help Evandar's people - the strange and evanescent Guardians - survive, by finding them a new home on the material plane.

It charts the progress of the Deverry civil wars during the ninth century, and especially focuses on the return of the true king - Maryn - to Dun Cerrmor, and his marriage to the young Bellyra; of Rhodry's adventurings as a silver dagger during the wars; and of the strange talisman entrusted to his keeping. And we meet once more the seductive and infuriating Salamander as he searches for and finds a lost love and witnesses the beginning of Jill's search for the lost elves of the Southern Isles.
