An end to exile, heroes scattered and darkness rising

When Jill and Rhodry are forced apart by unexpected circumstance, Rhodry vows to find her, no matter what it takes. But before he can, he disappears.

With his brother injured, Rhodry is next in line to rule. As Deverrys peace hanging in the balance, the king lifts Rhodrys exile and bids him return home before it is too late.

And so it falls to Jill to save the land and the man she loves. Though her magic is strong, this challenge will test her utterly: for there are those who would see Rhodry gone forever and the fragile peace of the kingdom broken at last.

Dawnspell is the third book in the Deverry series. Prepare to be spellbound by a sparkling fantasy classic: a tale of adventure and timeless love, perilous battle and pure magic.
