✦ Synopsis
En una Edad Media alternativa, los Deryni, un grupo de magos y telépatas, antaño poderosos, se enfrentan a la autoridad de la pujante religión cristiana y a sus ansias de primacía. El joven rey Kelson y su paladín de estirpe Deryni, el duque Alaric Morgan, desafían las más poderosas armas de la Iglesia: la excomunión y el interdicto. Junto al peligro de perder el apoyo y la comprensión de sus súbditos amenazados por el Interdicto eclesial, Kelson y Morgan deberán enfrentarse también al poder de Warin de Grey, un fanático ungido con los milagrosos atributos de la santidad y empecinado en una terrible "guerra santa" contra los Deryni.
