Mike Kenscott is having a really bad vacation. One minute he's camping in the Sierra Mountains with his brother Andy, and the next minute he's on a different world - or in a different time - or both. He's also in a different body. Now he's Adric, Lord of the Crimson Tower, of the Rainbow City of Narabedla. He has to cope with his fellow Narabedlans: the Dreamer Rhys, the mysterious veiled Gamine, the dwarf Idris, his brother Evarin the Toymaker (whose Toys are deadly), and Karamy, the Golden Witch, who is either his lover or his greatest enemy - with most of both his and Adric's memories gone, he's having trouble knowing what she is. Then there are the people outside the city, led by the man called Narayan. Mike/Adric knows that they are important to him, but he desperately needs to remember why.

Separated at birth... Nobody alive knew how the feud between Storn and Hammefell had begun, but that didn't stop the fighting. When Storn's men burned Hammerfell's castle, his infant twin sons were separated, and each grew up thinking himself the rightful Duke of Hammerfell. Conn, raised in the mountains by his father's paxman, continued to fight the Storns. Alastair grew up with his mother in Thendara and planned to marry his cousin Floria.

How do you make a spaceman? You start the same way that you start to make a chess master, a ballet dancer, a trapeze performer, or any other difficult and complex task demanding highly trained and concentrated skills, physical or mental; you start when the future professionals are too young to know whether that is what they want out of life, or not. United Nations Expeditionary Planetary Survey-UNEPS-starts every year with one hundred five-year-olds, discovered, in early testing, to be both mentally and physically superior. Twelve years later the best graduates of the Academy are given a Ship and sent out to find habitable planets for humans to live on. But what happens to a small crew of teenagers once the Ship leaves Earth?

...an incredible blending of fantasy and science fiction. Eventually the Terrans rediscover their long-lost -- and now alien -- colony: Darkover. Things are different there. While adolescent male homosexuality is generally tolerated on Darkover, men are expected to outgrow it. When Dyan Ardais takes lovers young enough to be his sons, he risks not just his reputation, but his life. Life in a Tower as a Keeper, the chaste virgin who holds a circle together, is grueling. Few succeed in the long, painful years of training. The ones who do have power greater than any queen, but what happens to the ones who don't? Darkovan technology is based on matrix stones that amplify psychic gifts, and people with those gifts work in the Tower circles. But duty to family outweighs everything else, and anyone can be called home from the Tower to marry as her family dictates. A Comyn lady can have lands, wealth, family...everything but freedom. Women can become Free Amazons, but that life has its own set of challenges. Before a candidate's trial period ends, she must decide if she is truly meant to cope with everything being a Free Amazon entails.

La corte de Arturo se ha trasladado a Camelot, donde ha mandado construir un salón de enormes dimensiones para dar albergue a la gran mesa redonda, regalo de bodas del Rey Leodegranz, padre de Ginebra. Tras la gran batalla de Monte Badon, en la que fueron vencidos los sajones, la paz se extiende por toda Bretaña; pero la Gran Sacerdotisa de Avalon acusa a Arturo de haber traicionado el juramento por el cual le entregó la espada Excalibur y su vaina mágica. Al no ser escuchada, decide visitar Camelot con ocasión de la gran fiesta de Pentecostés, en la que el Rey Supremo escucha las reclamaciones de sus súbditos e imparte justicia, y presentarse ante él para exponerle sus quejas como una súbdita más.

Con toda la mágica convicción y cadencia de una balada, LAS NIEBLAS DE AVALON evoca tanto a la Bretaña real como a la legendaria; desde las desesperadas guerras por la supervivencia contra los invasores sajones al esplendor de Camelot y un mundo en paz. Y las tragedias que acompañan a la muerte de Arturo y la destrucción del resplandeciente mito que él encarnaba. Igraine, Viviane, Ginebra y Morgana, sus vidas y sentimientos, dan una dimensión completamente nueva a la leyenda de Arturo.

LA REINA SUPREMA introduce al lector en la corte de Lothian, al norte del país, donde habitan las tribus de raza celta. Allí reina Lot de Orkney en compañía de su esposa Morgause, hermana de la madre de Arturo. La vida es dura en los largos inviernos y la moral relajada a causa de las costumbres de Lot y la ninfomanía de Morgause; quien, no obstante, dirige la corte con acierto y aconseja bien a su esposo en los asuntos de estado. Por el contrario, en Caerleon, sede de Arturo y Ginebra, los comportamientos se rigen por los principios cristianos, aunque la pasión de la Reina Suprema por Lancelot ...

EXPERTA EN MAGIA, libro primero de LAS NIEBLAS DE AVALON, narra los sucesos acaecidos desde la temprana infancia del Hada Morgana hasta que su hermano de madre, Arturo, es coronado como Rey Supremo de Bretaña. Es Morgana quien relata, y a veces se dirige directamente al lector, desde el punto de vista de las religiones y leyendas existentes en Bretaña antes de su cristianización. Y sobre todas las hazañas, ambiciones, pasiones y aventuras aparece el profundo conflicto entre el Cristianismo y la vieja religión de Avalon. Ginebra, que en este primer libro sólo aparece como una niña blanca y dorada que se pierde entre las nieblas de Avalon, será la cristiana esposa de Arturo. LAS NIEBLAS DE AVALON revela como las protagonistas de la leyenda del Rey Arturo (Ginebra, su esposa; Ingraine, su madre; Morgana, su hermana; y Viviane, la majestuosa Dama del Lago y Sacerdotisa Suprema de Avalon) podrían haber pensado, sentido y reaccionado ante los acontecimientos.

Marion Eleanor Zimmer Bradley (1930 - 1999) was an American author of fantasy, historical fantasy, science fiction, and science fantasy novels, and is best known for the Arthurian fiction novel The Mists of Avalon, and the Darkover series. Many critics have noted a feminist perspective in her writing. Her most famous single novel may be The Mists of Avalon, a retelling of the Camelot legend from the point of view of Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar. It grew into a series of books and, like the Darkover series, the later novels are written with or by other authors and have continued to appear since Bradley's death.

Como hizo con la leyenda del rey Arturo en LAS NIEBLAS DE AVALON, la autora recrea la caída de Troya de una forma nueva y audaz, desde el juicio de Paris, el rapto de Helena (que aquí no es una malvada adúltera sino una amable y apacible mujer consagrada a Paris y a sus hijos) y la convocatoria de los ejércitos griegos por Agamenón, el encolerizado cuñado de Helena, hasta la trágica destrucción de la ciudad decretada por los dioses... y por el extremado orgullo de sus líderes. La heroína de esta historia épica es Casandra, la bella y atormentada princesa de la casa real de Troya, que se enfrenta a una terrible lucha interior contra su lealtad dividida: la que debe a su padre, el rey, y a sus hermanos, y su creciente fidelidad a la vieja fe del matriarcado y la Madre Tierra.
