In our first real episode studying Katharine Kerr’s Daggerspell, we cover the first two chapters, meet our main cast, meet our main cast again under very different circumstances, and begin to unpick the knots of fate and destiny that bind them together.

Next week, we cover chapters three, four and the first half of chapter five; stop when Nevyn and Jill meet for the first time!
