A Time of War: Book 3 [Mass Market Paperback] Kerr, Katharine

Katharine Kerr's *Deverry* series lands in the middle of a brutal conflict, and *A Time of War* doesn't flinch. The third book in this long-running Celtic fantasy epic deepens the military and political chaos tearing through the kingdom while weaving in Kerr's signature reincarnation mechanics — characters whose souls have been tangled across lifetimes, meeting again on opposite sides of a war they're doomed to repeat. Expect sprawling battles, court intrigue, and magic that feels ancient and earned rather than flashy. Kerr writes dense, layered fantasy that rewards patience. If you're tired of chosen-one narratives and want something with real historical weight and consequences, this delivers. Not a starting point — you need the earlier books — but if you're already hooked on the series, this is where the stakes get serious.
