The Bloody Sun
Summary
For Jeff Kerwin, Darkover meant home, the home he had left as a child, the home he had longed for through the many years. Yet, he was to be terribly disappointed when he finally returned. First he learned that there were not records of any kind of either his birth or childhood on Darkover. And then, after he renounced his Terran allegiance and joined the natives attempting to free Darkover from Earth's control, the Darkovans accused him of being a spy. Someone was betraying them. Had Jeff been conditioned on Earth for just that purpose? Jeff Kerwin began to wonder just who, and what, he really was.

Le nebbie di Avalon. Parte seconda
Summary
L'ascesa e la caduta di Camelot raccontata dalle donne che, insieme a Morgaine, hanno visto il mondo che conoscevano cambiare radicalmente. Fuggita da Avalon dopo aver scoperto le orribili macchinazioni della Dama del Lago, Morgaine è più che mai decisa a non essere una docile marionetta nelle mani di Viviane. Non immagina che il figlio che ha partorito e affidato a sua sorella Morgause diventerà un giorno lo strumento della distruzione del padre. Ma la sua anima tormentata non trova pace nemmeno quando infine torna a Camelot, alla corte di re Arthur e della bionda ed eterea Gwenhwyfar. Perché il suo destino e quello dell'infelice regina sono legati, e l'ostilità che le divide segnerà irrimediabilmente la sorte della Britannia e di Avalon. Mentre i cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda lasciano Camelot per intraprendere la loro sacra ricerca e Merlino lancia i suoi sortilegi insieme a Viviane per influenzare il futuro del regno, l'Isola Sacra scivola inesorabilmente nelle nebbie impenetrabili del ricordo. Finché il velo tra il vecchio e il nuovo mondo e tra l'antica religione e la nuova non reclama infine la sua vittima più illustre. Il volume contiene la seconda parte del primo capitolo del "Ciclo di Avalon", un grande classico del fantasy in nuova edizione con una nuova traduzione.

The Shattered Chain
Summary
The women of Darkover are treated like slaves, despite the fact that they alone can control the power of the matrix, but the Free Amazons provide a key to the future. The many colorful threads of that part-human, part-alien world are rewoven into a strikingly different literary tapestry. One such thread could be called the Heritage of Ardais, for the heir to the Ardais Domain has vanished and must be found.

The Winds of Darkover
Summary
Turning under a blood-red sun, Darkover had always been a mystery to the Terrans. Its most puzzling riddles lay in the incredibly high mountains known as the Hellers. These jagged and almost impassable peaks sheltered races and enigmas that had become legend in the outside world - the howling inhuman Ya-men, the deadly Ghost Wind, the fiefs of barbaric brigand chieftains, decaying eldritch Dry-Towns...and the eerie forces that were worshiped as gods.

Two to Conquer
Summary
What forces would operate if there were two objects that were absolutely identical in form and substance? This problem has occupied both workers in magic and the scientists of physics and psychology. It is the pivot of Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel of Darkover during the final flaming days of the Ages of Chaos. This is the story of the era when the planet of the Bloody Sun was divided into a hundred warring kingdoms and civilization teetered on the edge of oblivion. It is the story of Bard di Asturien, ambitious soldier-outlaw, and of his opponent, Varzil the Good, who struggled to establish the Compact. And it is also the story of a man from distant Terra named Paul Harrell who was the exact duplicate of Varzil's enemy. Two to Conquer is a novel of social forces in combat, of the use and misuse of science, of war, of rape, and of witchcraft.

The Forbidden Tower
Summary
This is the novel of four who defied the powers of the matrix guardians - fanatics who protected those powers so that the planet of the ruddy sun might never fall beneath the influence of materialistic Terrans. The four who found themselves fused into a terrifying unity in that defiance were two men and two women. The men were Damon Ridenow, a Comyn of the ruling caste, and Andrew Carr, the Earthman who had won for himself the right of clan-entry.
