Circles made or broken may channel laran power into whole new pathways. And in these all-new tales set on the world of the Bloody Sun, Marion Zimmer Bradley and the many talented writers who are an integral part of The Friends of Darkover lead us along such pathways to reveal many special moments in Darkover's past. From the creation of the first Guild House to the story of a boy raised in a rebel Guild House, from the very beginning of laran circles to a Keeper's dangerous experimentation with clingfire---here are fascinating accounts drawn from the very start of the Domains through the era when they reigned supreme to the time when Terrans once again found their way to the planet and became the catalyst for changes in Darkovan society.
