It is an age when Valdemar is yet unfounded, its organization of Heralds yet unformed, and magic is still a wild and uncontrolled force. Skandranon Rashkae is perhaps the finest specimen of his race, with gleaming ebony feathers, a majestic wingspan, keen magesight, and sharp intelligence. Courageous, bold, and crafty, Skan is everything a gryphon should be. He is the fulfillment of everything that the Mage of Silence, the human sorcerer called Urtho, intended to achieve when he created these magical beings to be his champions, the defenders of his realm.

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice—save the woman he loves, or everyone else?—while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.

Dev is a smuggler with the perfect cover. He's in high demand as a guide for the caravans that carry legitimate goods from the city of Ninavel into the country of Alathia. The route through the Whitefire Mountains is treacherous, and Dev is one of the few climbers who knows how to cross them safely. With his skill and connections, it's easy enough to slip contraband charms from Ninavel - where any magic is fair game, no matter how dark - into Alathia, where most magic is outlawed.

Dev is a smuggler with the perfect cover. He's in high demand as a guide for the caravans that carry legitimate goods from the city of Ninavel into the country of Alathia. The route through the Whitefire Mountains is treacherous, and Dev is one of the few climbers who knows how to cross them safely. With his skill and connections, it's easy enough to slip contraband charms from Ninavel - where any magic is fair game, no matter how dark - into Alathia, where most magic is outlawed.

Above all, Vasya loves the story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon. Wise Russians fear him, for he claims unwary souls, and they honor the spirits that protect their homes from evil. Then Vasya’s widowed father brings home a new wife from Moscow. Fiercely devout, Vasya’s stepmother forbids her family from honoring their household spirits, but Vasya fears what this may bring.

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

YEAH!!!! Darkover has arrived (Hopefully!!)
I have the entire Darkover Series and have read it frequently, one of my favorites!!! I'm so happy to see the Sword of Aldones' audiobook out. I just hope is the first of the series and the rest is coming soon. I've just started listening and it sounds great. Lets hope there is more on the way, because Darkover is one of the very best series of it genre.
Marion Zimmer Bradley has created another reality with her great consideration to detail and her characters bring to life a complex and well developed culture on a planet where Telepaths are the ruling class, and the rest of humanity both interacts and clashes with Darkover in the different books.
Simply an amazing opportunity for those who like me love the books to have a different medium and for others to discover a new love.

Not a good return visit
25 years ago I read all of Marion Zimmer Brandley's Darkover novels and loved them.
This recording of The Sword, however, was not a good revisit. The narrator has a decent voice but his expressiveness is sometimes too dramatic, sometimes too flat.
Guess I'll go back to reading these books

Great to have Darkover BUT
The Sword of Aldones is the original version of what was rewritten to be a fuller and different story, following the same characters, but with some significant differences in the plot. So I am excited to have a Darkover novel to listen to but am curious as to why this version???
As to this audiobook, it is great fun to listen to, introduces the core ideas of Darkover to the reader/listener, and is well read.
HOWEVER I would prefer to have had what is now the real story aka Shara's Exile. I think it does an injustice to the author to bring a story to the public -- especially introducing a series to the audiophile community - with a novel that the author herself changed.

Can't Enjoy
I just cannot read MZB anymore, not after reading "The Last Closet" by her daughter Moira Greyland. It is hard to reconcile the fascinating constructs of alien planets MZB so beautifully creates with the wanton brutality with which she treats her family. The hell Moore survived is so dark and bloody that it is difficult to clean ones mind of the pollution. Time to find a new Sci Fi writer!
