Denyri Rising by Katherine Kurtz. I've just read chapter 1 which if very good- the only problem is the blurb on the back of the book is a definite spoiler of chapter 1. I keep wondering when IT was going to happen.

If I'm understanding the backstory there are 3 powers in this world, the royalty and nobles of the 11 kingdoms, the Church and the Denyri. THe Denyri have psychic powers. Like all humans it appears that all 3 factions are capable of good and bad.

Thanks, shenmue, for the heads up.
