Order of Deryni Books

American author Katherine Kurtz created the Deryni universe, a captivating historical fantasy saga that transports readers to the medieval realm of Gwynedd. This richly imagined kingdom serves as home to two distinct peoples: ordinary humans and the Deryni, a gifted race possessing psychic abilities and magical talents. The fragile relationship between these two groups creates an underlying tension that drives much of the conflict experienced by the series' protagonists.

Beginning with Deryni Rising in 1970, Kurtz has continued expanding this beloved universe across multiple decades. The ongoing saga is organized into distinct subseries: the Chronicles of the Deryni, Legends of Camber of Culdi, Histories of King Kelson, Heirs of Saint Camber, and the Childe Morgan Trilogy. Here you'll find Katherine Kurtz's complete Deryni collection arranged by original publication date:
