Deryni Checkmate by Katherine Kurtz
In order to claim the throne of Gwynedd, young Kelson Haldane had to reveal his magical Deryni powers, putting him at odds with the most powerful clerics in the land, who view the Deryni as agents of evil. One such man--Archbishop Loris--has dedicated himself to the eradication of the Deryni. In a ruthless campaign of persecution against them, Loris targets one of the proudest Deryni in all the land: Kelson's most trusted friend and advisor, Duke Alaric Morgan. While Morgan fights for his reputation--and his very life--a rogue Deryni has been honing his powers to use as a weapon against all of humanity, putting all of the Deryni at risk. Outright war is in the offing. And as the different factions of Gwynedd battle each other, the young Kelson must find within himself the strength to keep his kingdom from falling apart.Katherine Kurtz, the author of the Deryni Books, including Childe Morgan and In the King's Service, has been writing fantasy for more than four decades. She is married and resides in the Virginia town of Staunton.
