Continuing the saga of the inhabitants of Avalon, a young boy raised in secret after his parents are killed by traitors returns home to prove his worth and lead his followers to victory while wielding the newly forged sword Excalibur

The long-awaited continuation to Marion Zimmer Bradley's popular science fiction Darkover saga After generations of struggle to protect the unique native culture of Darkover from the ambitions of the ruthless Terran Federation, the Terrans have finally been forced to abandon Darkover due to interstellar civil war. As Lew Alton—returned home to the world of his birth after decades spent in exile as the Darkovan representative to the Terran Senate—wrestles with the dark shadows from his past, his daughter Marguerida’s psychic Gifts warn her of impending danger. But danger to whom? Her husband Mikhail, as powerful head of the Hastur Doman is her most obvious worry, for many would stand to gain from his demise. Meanwhile, unknown to Marguerida, her son, Domenic, searches for his place in a world of shifting loyalties, torn by love for two very different women, and troubled by his destiny as the heir to Hastur. But while Darkover’s powerful rulers face their personal demons, desperate refugees flood the streets of Thendara, Darkover’s capital city, for in the mountains an ancient menace is once again on the rise—a power against which neither sword nor the psychic sorcery of Darkover can prevail.

Marion Zimmer Bradley ha più volte ripetuto che le maggiori soddisfazioni leha avute in occasione della scoperta di nuovi talenti della narrativafantastica. Ancora una volta, accanto a nuove voci, gli appassionati sarannofelici di trovare autori spesso presenti in queste raccolte, come Deborah Wheeler, che, con "Lama d'argento", racconta di una maga che accorre in aiutodi una creatura leggendaria; Mercedes Lackey, che, insieme con Elisabeth Waters, propone la storia di due sorelle - una mercenaria e un'abileintessitrice d'incantesimi -, le quali scopriranno che l'amore a volte nonconosce la giustizia; o come Diana Paxson, che fa rivivere l'esperienza di unasirena, la cui vita sarà cambiata per sempre da una "voce".

Follows the lives of two women in Atlantis and the destinies that will shape the fate of their descendents.

Ambiziose eredi al trono in lotta per la successione, ciniche mercenarie e apprendisti maghi sono soltanto alcuni dei protagonisti dei ventinove racconti presentati da Marion Zimmer Bradley in questa sorprendente antologia. Autrici acclamate - basti citare i nomi di Mercedes Lackey e Deborah Wheeler - e giovani talenti del genere fantasy hanno creato per noi mondi popolati da guerriere e sacerdotesse, draghi e stregoni, indomite spadaccine e terribili incantesimi, ladri astuti e perfidi assassini, tenebrose creature e fulgide dee. Così, dall'insolito racconto di apertura, Lorelei - incantevole rielaborazione di un celebre mito della Grecia classica, la Sirena - si passa a storie ispirate a più tradizionali temi dell'«heroic fantasy», come L'ombra del falcone - una nuova avventura di Shanna, certamente il personaggio più famoso creato da Diana L. Paxson - o l'intrigante Giuramenti, una vicenda di amori folli e odi implacabili, di spietate vendette, freddi tradimenti ed epiche battaglie... La giustizia delle spade, però, non si limita a essere una splendida rassegna dei migliori autori di fantasy in circolazione. È soprattutto un omaggio al fondamento di ogni opera fantastica di autentico valore, cioè a quel «senso del meraviglioso» che Marion Zimmer Bradley ha saputo infondere in tutte le sue opere e che ha sempre guidato la sua instancabile ricerca di nuovi autori nel campo del fantasy e della fantascienza.

A new Darkover omnibus Including the first Darkover novel ever written! An omnibus volume of two of Marion Zimmer Bradley's classic, long-unavailable Darkover novels.

Kate Beacham had had a bad day. After almost being assaulted in an alley by three masked bigots, she arrived home to find her beloved stallion lying dead in her driveway with a note reading YoU'Re nExt. Too tough a cookie to crumble, Kate got out her shotgun and loaded it. Then she saw the book on her nightstand -- a guide book to a place she had never heard Glenraven. When she opened it, words magically Get out of the house, quick. Still holding the shotgun, she obeyed; and saw riders on horseback gallop from a hole in midair, pursued by a nightmarish flying thing like a cross between a dragon and a shark. Good thing she had the shotgun, or there would have been no hope for Kate, the riders, and both their worlds. Once before a woman from our world had saved the realm of Glenraven. Now another must do it again -- or her own world will be forfeit, too....
