Fantasy
A follow-up to The Ages of Chaos omnibus, Thunderlord
is a brand-new novel of the genre-bending Darkover
universe, expanded by Marion Zimmer Bradley’s collaborator
Deborah J. Ross. Far in Darkover’s past, the Ages of Chaos were a time of
constant warfare, when immensely powerful psychic weapons
ravaged the land and slaughtered entire armies. Perhaps
none was more dangerous and unpredictable than the mental
Gift to sense—and control—thunderstorms. A generation later, the heir to Scathfell, Gwynn, has
grown up in the shadow of that conflict, his life shaped
by the loss of his entire family. Now he plots his revenge
for his family’s humiliating defeat by seeking to marry a
woman who carries the storm control Gift, so that his sons
will be able to wield the terrible power of storms against
Aldaran—his long-time enemy. Since childhood, Kyria has been able to sense approaching
storms. She had never expected to marry a rich man; when
Gwynn’s emissary arrives with a marriage proposal that
will secure her family’s financial future, she agrees, and
sets out for Scathfell, where she will be formally wed.
During their passage through rugged mountains, a blizzard
drives them to seek shelter in a traveler’s hut, where
they meet Edric, the young heir to Aldaran. Edric has
inherited the storm control, but he has never dared to use
it. His whole life, he has been warned against the
consequences, not just to his enemies but to everyone he
loves. Thus begins the saga of two kingdoms. Can Kyria and
Edric’s love and resourcefulness overcome even the
overwhelming power of a Thunderlord?
