K. Kurtz / Paperback / Aug 1986
Deryni and Otherwise
There have been many events in the past 230 years of the half-magical race of the Deryni that were too short to turn into novels. Katherine Kurtz has been writing these when not occupied with longer works, and they are now collected here. Some have appeared in books and other sources now hard to locate. More than half of the fiction is new -- including a major story of how Denis Arilan became the first Deryni priest in 200 years.
Katherine Kurtz has provided an introduction and individual headings for each story to indicate her feelings and intents in writing each tale. Additionally, there is the complete first story she ever wrote -- the first version of her Deryni vision, and how it all came about.
For all the myriad lovers of the Deryni, this should be a must book -- both for pleasure and as a reference!

K. Kurtz / Paperback / Jan 1991
A Race of Giants
In Gwynedd lived the Deryni, that mysterious race of wizards with arcane mental powers. Often feared and misunderstood, they came to be persecuted by humans, forced into hiding lest their race be destroyed. They were a race of Healers and champions, priests and teachers, who fought for all men against the intrigues of tyrants.
Herein lie their tumultuous history and the secrets of their power and ritual. Revealed is the hidden knowldge of casting protective circles: of defining the sacred space, of aspersing with holy water and salt, of censing the circle, and finally, of calling the spiritual beings that represent the four elements of the material universe.
Glimpsed here are the secrets of Healers, of their schools and philosophies -- from a view of the actual training of a Healer, to the tragedy of power gone awry.
But most of all, herein is a celebration of Camber, Morgan, Kelson, and the other heroes of Katherine Kurtz's great Deryni people.
