Unveiling the Enchantments of Darkover

Darkover is a world where magic permeates every aspect of life. The ancient knowledge of the laran binds together the Comyn families, granting them extraordinary abilities. From the healers who mend wounds with a touch to the telepaths who can communicate across vast distances, the laran empowers the Comyn to shape their world.

But magic also carries its risks. The misuse or suppression of laran can lead to devastating consequences, as the novels in this omnibus vividly illustrate. Witness the rise of the Dark Lord and the chaos he brings, as well as the sacrifices made by those who stand against him.

Beyond its magical wonders, Darkover possesses a rich tapestry of cultures and landscapes. From the rugged highlands to the lush forests, from the bustling cities to the secluded villages, every corner of this world holds its own secrets and enchantments.

Navigating Political Intrigues and Alternative Timelines

The world of Darkover is a complex and ever-shifting political landscape. The Comyn Lords vie for power, alliances are formed and broken, and ancient prophecies cast long shadows over the present.

In the Heritage and Exile Darkover Omnibus, you'll witness first-hand the consequences of political ambition and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of power. Through the eyes of exiled lords, ambitious pretenders, and wise councilors, you'll gain a deep understanding of the intricacies of Darkovan politics.

Moreover, the omnibus explores an intriguing alternative timeline through the novel The Forbidden Tower. This standalone story offers a glimpse into a world where the Comyn never rose to power, showcasing the profound impact of choices made in the distant past.
