Forbidden Circle

They Challenged the Ancient Laws of the Matrix Towers- Andrew Carr A Terran, Andrew had been employed by the Space Service for ten years when he first came to Darkover. Though he had served on eight planets, Darkover mesmerized and drew him in a way he had never experienced. And when his mapping plane crashed in the snowy Hellers, his life was saved by the specter of a woman who would draw him into a world beyond imagining. Callista Lanart-Alton Trained as a Keeper, she had been kidnapped at age twenty during the height of the Catmen's War to prevent her from interfering with the Catmen's use of an illegal matrix weapon. Rescued from certain death by Andrew Carr, and her cousin Damon Ridenow, consummation of her marriage could prove fatal to the only man she'd ever loved. Damon Ridenow Fostered in the Kilghard Hills, he possessed the Ridenow Gift of empathy. Had he been born a woman, he could have been a Keeper, but as a man his laran had brought him nothing but failure and misery-for he had been dismissed from Arilinn Tower due to his extreme sensitivity. Summoned to Armida during the Catmen's War, he forged a bond with Ellemir which would change the very nature of matrix technology on Darkover. Ellemir Lanart-Alton Twin sister of the powerful Callista, she believed the old folklore that twins, though linked, had unequal amounts of laran, and that she was the inferior of her gifted sister. But unless she proved this adage wrong, her sister would pay with her life.Bradley, Marion Zimmer is the author of 'Forbidden Circle' with ISBN 9780756400941 and ISBN 0756400945.
