The long-awaited continuation to Marion Zimmer Bradley's popular science fiction Darkover saga After generations of struggle to protect the unique native culture of Darkover from the ambitions of the ruthless Terran Federation, the Terrans have finally been forced to abandon Darkover due to interstellar civil war. As Lew Alton—returned home to the world of his birth after decades spent in exile as the Darkovan representative to the Terran Senate—wrestles with the dark shadows from his past, his daughter Marguerida’s psychic Gifts warn her of impending danger. But danger to whom? Her husband Mikhail, as powerful head of the Hastur Doman is her most obvious worry, for many would stand to gain from his demise. Meanwhile, unknown to Marguerida, her son, Domenic, searches for his place in a world of shifting loyalties, torn by love for two very different women, and troubled by his destiny as the heir to Hastur. But while Darkover’s powerful rulers face their personal demons, desperate refugees flood the streets of Thendara, Darkover’s capital city, for in the mountains an ancient menace is once again on the rise—a power against which neither sword nor the psychic sorcery of Darkover can prevail.

Fangs of the Wolf World Across half a Galaxy, the Terran Empire maintains its sovereignty with the consent of the governed. It is a peaceful reign, held by compact and not by conquest. Again and again, when rebellion threatens the Terran Peace, the natives of the rebellious world have turned against their own people and sided with the men of Terra; not from fear, but from a sense of dedication. There has never been open war. The battle for these worlds is fought in the minds of a few men who stand between worlds; bound to one world by interest, loyalties and allegiance; bound to the other by love. Such a world is Wolf. Such a man was Race Cargill of the Terran Secret Service… At one time Race Cargill had been the best Terran Intelligence agent on the complex and mysterious planet of Wolf. He had repeatedly imperiled his life amongst the half-human and non-human creatures of the sullen world. And he had repeatedly accomplished the fantastic missions until his name was emblazoned with glory. But that had all seemingly ended. For six long years he'd sat behind a boring desk inside the fenced-in Terran Headquarters, cut off there ever since he and a rival had scarred and ripped each other in blood-feud. But when The Door Through Space swung suddenly open, the feud was on again—and with it a plot designed to check and destroy the Terran Empire.

Marion Zimmer Bradley ha più volte ripetuto che le maggiori soddisfazioni leha avute in occasione della scoperta di nuovi talenti della narrativafantastica. Ancora una volta, accanto a nuove voci, gli appassionati sarannofelici di trovare autori spesso presenti in queste raccolte, come Deborah Wheeler, che, con "Lama d'argento", racconta di una maga che accorre in aiutodi una creatura leggendaria; Mercedes Lackey, che, insieme con Elisabeth Waters, propone la storia di due sorelle - una mercenaria e un'abileintessitrice d'incantesimi -, le quali scopriranno che l'amore a volte nonconosce la giustizia; o come Diana Paxson, che fa rivivere l'esperienza di unasirena, la cui vita sarà cambiata per sempre da una "voce".

Ambiziose eredi al trono in lotta per la successione, ciniche mercenarie e apprendisti maghi sono soltanto alcuni dei protagonisti dei ventinove racconti presentati da Marion Zimmer Bradley in questa sorprendente antologia. Autrici acclamate - basti citare i nomi di Mercedes Lackey e Deborah Wheeler - e giovani talenti del genere fantasy hanno creato per noi mondi popolati da guerriere e sacerdotesse, draghi e stregoni, indomite spadaccine e terribili incantesimi, ladri astuti e perfidi assassini, tenebrose creature e fulgide dee. Così, dall'insolito racconto di apertura, Lorelei - incantevole rielaborazione di un celebre mito della Grecia classica, la Sirena - si passa a storie ispirate a più tradizionali temi dell'«heroic fantasy», come L'ombra del falcone - una nuova avventura di Shanna, certamente il personaggio più famoso creato da Diana L. Paxson - o l'intrigante Giuramenti, una vicenda di amori folli e odi implacabili, di spietate vendette, freddi tradimenti ed epiche battaglie... La giustizia delle spade, però, non si limita a essere una splendida rassegna dei migliori autori di fantasy in circolazione. È soprattutto un omaggio al fondamento di ogni opera fantastica di autentico valore, cioè a quel «senso del meraviglioso» che Marion Zimmer Bradley ha saputo infondere in tutte le sue opere e che ha sempre guidato la sua instancabile ricerca di nuovi autori nel campo del fantasy e della fantascienza.
