Sword of Aldones — Marion Zimmer Bradley

Lew Alton had always walked between two worlds -- his mother was Terran, his father Darkovan -- and he had never been accepted by either.

Yet Alton alone could fully understand both worlds, and the mystic forces gathering to engulf them. That was why he was returning from long exile, armed with the legendary sword of the Sharra matrix -- the sword destined to fight the mighty battle that decides Darkover's uncertain fate.
