Series
Westlands / A Time of ...
Katharine Kerr · 4 novels · 1991–1994
This tetralogy forms the second story arc of Katharine Kerr's Deverry Cycle, a Celtic-flavored epic fantasy told across parallel timelines of past lives and reincarnation. It follows the exiled warrior Rhodry among his elven kin and the sorceress Jill's growing mastery of dweomer magic, as the story widens from Deverry's internal politics to threats from elves, dragons, and a besieging Horsekin army in the north. Across the four books - A Time of Exile, A Time of Omens, Days of Blood and Fire, and Days of Air and Darkness - personal quests and a continent-spanning invasion converge.
