While only women can command the power of the matrix and the secret sciences which keep Darkover from Terran hands, in most respects they are still chattels. But the Free Amazons are considered equal to men, and it is they who provide the key to the Terran-Darkover dilemma. About the Author Marion Zimmer was born in Albany, NY, on June 3, 1930, and married Robert Alden Bradley in 1949. Mrs. Bradley received her B.A. in 1964 from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, then did graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1965-67. She was a science fiction/fantasy fan from her middle teens, and made her first sale as an adjunct to an amateur fiction contest in Fantastic/Amazing Stories in 1949. She had written as long as she could remember, but wrote only for school magazines and fanzines until 1952, when she sold her first professional short story to Vortex Science Fiction. She wrote everything from science fiction to Gothics, but is probably best known for her Darkover novels. In addition to her novels, Mrs. Bradley edited many magazines, amateur and professional, including Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, which she started in 1988. She also edited an annual anthology called Sword and Sorceress for DAW Books. Over the years she turned more to fantasy; The House Between the Worlds, although a selection of the Science Fiction Book Club, was "fantasy undiluted". She wrote a novel of the women in the Arthurian legends -- Morgan Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, and others -- entitled Mists of Avalon, which made the NY Times best seller list both in hardcover and trade paperback, and she also wrote The Firebrand, a novel about the women of the Trojan War. Her historical fantasy novels, The Forest House, Lady of Avalon, Mists of Avalon are prequels to Priestess of Avalon She died in Berkeley, California on September 25, 1999, four days after suffering a major heart attack. She was survived by her brother, Leslie Zimmer; her sons, David Bradley and Patrick Breen; her daughter, Moira Stern; and her grandchildren.

It was a place on Darkover where the Order of the Renunciates dwelled - women as Free Amazons, who had renounced all subservience to men. And who sought for total equality in all spheres of society. To Thendara House came the Terran Magda in exchange for the Free Amazon Jaella, who had become the wife of an Earthman and had entered the Terran enclave. The cross-currents of these two cultures - one male-dominated, one egalitarian, brings into focus all the deepest questions of love and marriage, of male and female, of justice and injustice. Thendaria House is a novel of future speculation destined to be a classic masterwork o the role of women in any world.

Black Hollow. The name itself conjures a sense of dread, whispering of secrets buried deep beneath the surface, of a town shrouded in fear and superstition. A place where the past clings to the present, where the whispers of the dead carry a chilling weight, and where the lines between reality and myth blur into an unsettling tapestry of the unknown. Detective Sophie Barnes, a seasoned investigator with a sharp mind and an unwavering belief in logic, finds herself drawn into the chilling mystery that engulfs Black Hollow. A young girl, Amelia, has been found dead within the eerie Whispering Woods, her death attributed by the villagers to the vengeful spirit that haunts the town. Sophie, a rational woman who dismisses the supernatural as mere folklore, sets out to uncover the truth behind Amelia's death. But as she delves deeper into the case, she encounters a web of secrets that defy logic, whispers that seem to carry a voice of their own, and an unsettling energy that permeates the very air of Black Hollow. The murders that follow, each bearing the mark of the bizarre and inexplicable, force Sophie to confront the terrifying reality that the whispers of the woods might hold more truth than she ever imagined. Prepare to step into a world where the living and the dead walk side by side, where fear is a tangible force, and where the chilling truth can unravel even the strongest mind.
