Towers of Darkover

THE POWERS OF THE MIND

Return to the magnificent world of the Bloody Sun in this exciting new, all-original anthology that explores one of the most fascinating facets of Darkover society—The Towers. In these citadels, those gifted with laran-mind talents which enable them to communicate telepathically, to rule the elements, to control birds and beasts with their thoughts— join together to work the laran matrices, sometimes for the good of all their world, sometimes in a struggle over power beyond any ordinary mortal's imagining.... From an apparently laran-less youth who discovers that his wild talent just doesn't function on Darkover...to a "washerwoman" who "cleans up" people...to a murderer from whom no one in the Overworld is safe... here are twenty spellbinding stories of power and wonder.
