Katherine Kerr's Deverry Series covers the four hundred years of Nevyn's life after he rashly vows to the gods that he will not rest until he makes right a wrong he inadvertantly caused. It took him quite a bit longer than he thought it would. The story then goes on into the future and is still being written. This series flashes back hundreds of years into the past and then forward again to what is the present in each book.
The books are Act One: the Deverry books proper Daggerspell, Darkspell, The Bristling Wood (Dawnspell), The Dragon Revenant (Dragonspell)
Act Two: The Westlands A Time of Exile, A Time of Omens, Days of Blood and Fire (A Time of War), Days of Air and Darkness (A Time of Justice)
Act Three: The Dragon Mage The Red Wyvern, The Black Raven, The Fire Dragon, The Gold Falcon (in progress)
