“This grand saga is by a wide margin the best Celtic fantasy around.”—Chicago Sun-TimesEven as a young girl, Jill was a favorite of the magical, mysterious Wildfolk, who appeared to her from their invisible realm. Little did she know her extraordinary friends represented but a glimpse of a forgotten past and a fateful future. Four hundred years—and many lifetimes—ago, one selfish young lord caused the death of two innocent lovers. Then and there he vowed never to rest until he'd rightened that wrong-and laid the foundation for the lives of Jill and all those whom she would hold dear: her father, the mercenary soldier Cullyn; the exiled berserker Rhodry Maelwaedd; and the ancient and powerful herbman Nevyn, all bound in a struggle against darkness. . . and a quest to fulfill the destinies determined centuries ago. Here in this newly revised edition comes the incredible novel that began one of the best-loved fantasy seers in recent years—a tale of bold adventure and timeless love, perilous battle and pure magic. For long-standing fans of Deverry and those who have yet to experience this exciting series, Daggerspell is a rare and special treat.

"The story of Jill, Rhodry, Nevyn, and the rest of this wonderful cast is truly timeless. Their bonds transcend a single lifetime and never before nor since have I found a series which tackles the ideas of fate and reincarnation better. Imagine (for any WoT fans) being able to spend years following Lews Therin Telamon and seeing his falling out with the woman who would become Lanfear, or watching countless lives of an Ishamael who stays faithful to the Light before falling to the Dark.
