Deryni Checkmate (The Chronicles of the Deryni #2) by Katherine Kurtz

Mythopoeic Fantasy Award nominee 1973.

The number of Deryni was small, for they had been hounded for generations and kept their identities secret. Those who managed to retain their arcane powers concealed their background – for bitter persecution once again swept the land of Gwynedd, inspired by a raving fanatic sworn to destroy all Deryni in a final bloodbath.
