After spending her youth in the Terran Empire, Margaret Alton returns to Darkover, the planet of her birth. There she discovers she has the Alton Gift--forced rapport and compulsion--one of the strongest and most dangerous of the inherited Laran gifts of the telepathic Comyn--the ruling families of Darkover. And even as she struggles to control her newfound powers, Margaret finds herself falling in love with the Regent to the royal Elhalyn Domain, a man she has been forbidden to marry, for their alliance would irrevocably alter the power balance of their planet!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marion Zimmer Bradley

American writer, born on June 3, 1930, in Albany, New York. He began writing as a teenager, having founded a magazine for science fiction amateurs at the age of seventeen. In 1949, the year she married Robert Alden Bradley, she submitted a story to the contest run by the science fiction magazine Fantastic/Amazing Stories, for which she made her first sale.
In 1952 he began to write professionally for various magazines, such as Vortex Science Fiction and, from 1958 onwards, he obtained some recognition by publishing the first novel in the Darkover series, entitled "The Planet Savers" (1958). The series, which would total twenty-one volumes, almost all by Marion Zimmer Bradley, told the story of a planet discovered at the end of the twenty-first century and colonized by Earth.
In 1964 he received his degree from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, and then did graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1965 to 1967.
She reoriented herself from science fiction to the fantasy genre, publishing, among other works, "The Forest House" and "Lady Of Avalon", which she sought to coin with small touches of feminism. In 1983 she published her best-known work, "The Mists Of Avalon", a recreation of Arthurian legends seen from the perspective of their female archetypes, such as Viviane, Gwynyfar, Morgaine and Igraine. A huge success, the work remained at the top of the Times newspaper's sales list for four months.
In 1987 he published "The Firebrand", in which he recounted the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of the goddess Cassandra, whom Zimmer Bradley named Kassandra. He also edited a number of magazines, including his own Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, which he had begun in 1988, and an annual anthology, "Sword and SorceressW.
He died four days after suffering a heart attack in Berkeley on September 25, 1999.
