Description
The Ages of Chaos (Bk2 of Darkover Omnibus) by Marion Zimmer Bradley. "Two classic Darkover novels now together for the first time in one omnibus edition!" Stormqueen- "During the lawless Ages of Chaos, when the Comyn families of the seven Domains of Darkover ruthlessly inbred their laran-gifted offspring to gain powerful and fearsome talents, a baby was born to the Lord of Aldaran, high in the mountainous Hellers. This child, born on a dark and thunder-filled night - ending her mother's life with the beginning of her own - was possessed of a terrifying and uncontrolled talent. For Dorilys Aldaran, heiress to her father's domain, could unwittingly call forth lightning and bring devastating storms to the land while still a fretful child. Fearful for his daughter's life and the safety of his domain. Lord Aldaran sent to a tower for help. But even the powers of a trained monitor and a Hastur lord with frightening abilities of his own might not be able to save this painfully afflicted and deadly young woman." Hawkmistress- "Romilly MacAran was on independent tomboy from a noble Darkovan family, but women on Darkover were not permitted to be independent.

Disguising herself as a boy, she fled into the deep forests of her homeland, Living of the land was not nearly as difficult for Romilly as for most people, for she possessed the rare and highly-treasured MacAran gift - telepathic communication with hawk and horse. But Romilly soon discovered her new-found freedom was far from complete. Pulled into the maelstrom of a civil war, could sacrificing her ideals?"
