Though I'd put this in here too....


Kurtz herself recommends reading the books in the order they were published in.......or you can read them chronologically (like I did)
Thing is, The first trilogy, published in the early '70's as Danlo provided occurs approximately 200 years after the second trilogy The Chronicals of Saint Camber......in Chronological order it goes like this:

The Chronicals of Saint Camber 903-917 AD
*Camber of Culdi
*Saint Camber
*Camber the Heretic

The Heirs of Saint Camber 918-928 AD
*The Harrowing of Gwynedd
*King Javan's Year
*The Bastard Prince

*In the King's Service ?1105 AD?
(first in the Childe Morgan trilogy)

The Chronicals of The Deryni 1120-1121 AD
*Deryni Rising
*Deryni Checkmate
*High Deryni

The Histories of King Kelson 1123-1125 AD
*The Bishop's Heir
*The King's Justice
*The Quest for Saint Camber


*King Kelson's Bride 1128 AD
(first, I think, in a new triology)


There are also :
*Deryni Archives - Very good short stories set across the time spectrum -1986
*Deryni Magic - A grimoire....don't remember reading this one -1991
*Codex Derynianus - Sort of an Encyclopedia -1998
*Deryni Tales - A collection of Kurtz approved fanfic, with one story by Kurtz.....some are ok, but fanfic.....blech.... -2002


Now the publishing order goes like this....

The Chronicals of the Deryni -1970-1973
The Chronicals of Saint Camber -1976-1981
The Histories of King Kelson -1984-1986
The Heirs of Saint Camber -1989-1994

*King Kelson's Bride -2000
*In the King's Service - 2003


So....Chronologically is what I'd recommend (partly because the Camber books are my favorite, and I guarantee they'll hook you for the rest ) but Kurtz herself disagrees with me.....up to you Kemosabe....
Be still heart

Hold peace

I have read many, though not all of these books. Of the ones I have read, I like the Saint Camber trilogy best. I liked the characters quite a bit in that trilogy...especially Camber and his family... ******************************************************
