"Official" presentation (from Daw Books)

Return with Marion Zimmer Bradley and the Friends of Darkover to the planet of the Bloody Sun, the world of Darkover, where powerful families gifted with rare mental powers of laran rule the land, where Terran technology is seen as the greatest evil, and survival often depends on s steady sword and quickness of wits.

Here dwell the Free Amazons, who have set themselves apart from the male-ruled world, owing their lives as free citizens, equal to any man or woman, soldier or lord.

The eighteen tales in this collection, including two by Marion Zimmer Bradley herself, tell the story of these Free Amazons, and are certain to enchant anyone who has fallen under the spell of the Amazon heroines of Thendara House and City of Sorcery.
