The Worlds of Katherine Kurtz

Quote from: revanne on May 02, 2024, 08:59:42 AMI really liked this Nezz, I so hope you write more Deryni fanfic.

Thanks! I've been working on a character to join y'all in the Forgotten Shadows game, so maybe I'll get the opportunity to practice a little more.

Thank you!

QuoteAddressing what Laurna mentioned re Alaric being up in Cardosa, based on what Brion tells Kelson on the morning of the hunt, Alaric was in Cardosa at Brion's behest, keeping an eye on "a crisis brewing in Cardosa."

If there ever was a "crisis" beyond just getting Morgan out of sight (out of mind) so the king could quell the rumors, I was never able to find it. Unless the crisis in question is just a matter of Brion sending Morgan to keep an eye on the Torenthi forces. Which doesn't really seem like a "crisis" to me, but hey, I'm sure Brion knows more about it than I do.

QuoteI doubt he meant Alaric to have to stay up in Cardosa all winter--he was much too valuable to Brion to risk his being captured and likely killed by Wencit.

Agreed. That's why I presented Alaric as getting so antsy, knowing he could be trapped in Cardosa any day, once the snows began.

QuoteThe question is whether he was also sent that far away to let the Court calm down about Alaric's  suspected ambition. OR if his being away from Court where nobody knew where he was or why were the REASON the whole court got a bee in their collective bonnet about the possibility that Alaric wanted to usurp the throne--a rumor that wouldn't have raised it's nasty head had Alaric been at Court in plain sight that year.

I think the first. We know that Ian had spent at least three months pushing rumors about Morgan, so I can see loose talk about Morgan swirling throughout most of August and part of September before the King sends him off so that Brion can do damage-control.

QuoteOr possibility three...did Brion and Alaric invent and subtly enhance the rumors to give cover to Alaric's long absence from Rhemuth?

I personally don't think this is the case, as we know that Ian was neck-deep in the Besmirch Morgan ploy.

Thank you for the info, JudithR. That is exactly what I see on the US Amazon site. Thanks for checking the UK one fore me!

Thank you, Bywn!

 Not sure if this is useful information for you: Amazon.uk lists a kindle edition from £4.99.    Sorry - jumped the gun - second look says not available - mea culpa

That's a publisher question for sure. And one KK would be the best to answer on it.

We have a Zoom chat this Sunday at 3pm ET. You may have gotten an invite for it as a Private Message yesterday. If not, there will be another one coming out tomorrow as a reminder. Come in and ask her directly about it.

This topic has been merged into Dagger Magic for Kindle?.

And we know that the rest of Brion's Privy Council didn't know where Morgan was or why. I've always thought that Brion sent Morgan up there because he knew he could be trusted completely. I doubt he meant Alaric to have to stay up in Cardosa all winter--he was much too valuable to Brion to risk his being captured and likely killed by Wencit.

I have all the Adept books on my Kindle except for Dagger Magic. On Amazon I can see that there's Kindle price for Dagger Magic but the actual Kindle book is not available. Might it be available again?
