These storiesâ€”Stormqueen!Â andÂ Hawkmistress!,Â one tragic and one triumphantâ€”combine to give the reader a vivid and poignant picture of a devastating time period in the history of this fantastic world.
Â
Stormqueen!
During the lawless Ages of Chaos, when the ruling families of Darkover ruthlessly inbred their laran-gifted offspring to gain powerful talents, a baby was born to the lord of Aldaran. This child, born on a dark and thunder-filled nightÂÂÂÂ, was possessed of a terrifying and uncontrolled talent: Dorilys, heiress to her fatherâ€™s domain, could unwittingly call forth lightning, even while still a fretful child. Fearful for his daughterâ€™s life and the safety of his domain, Lord Aldaran sent to a tower for help. But even the powers of a trained monitor and a Hastur lord might not be enough to save this painfully afflicted and deadly young woman.
Â
Hawkmistress!
Romilly was an independent tomboy from a noble family, contrary to the social demands of Darkovan women. That was bad enough, but when Romillyâ€™s father arranged her marriage to a nobleman she found repulsive, she rebelled. Disguising herself as a boy, she fled into the deep forests. Living off the land was not nearly as difficult for Romilly as for most people, for she possessed a rare and highly-treasured giftâ€”telepathic communication with hawk and horse. But Romilly soon discovered her newfound freedom was far from complete. Pulled into the maelstrom of a civil war, could Romilly find her true role in life without sacrificing her ideals?
