Daggerspell Introduction: Deverry In Deverry

In this brief bonus episode, we set the stage for Katharine Kerr’s 1986 Celtic fantasy Daggerspell with some discussion of the fantasy landscape in the ’80s, and the pronunciation of the Deverrian language.






Next week, we get underway with the prologue and the first two chapters!
