Editorial Review:
The first in a series of omnibus volumes of Marion Zimmer Bradley's best-selling Darkover series, Heritage and Exile includes the two most powerful and important novels in this groundbreaking saga. Nominated for a Hugo Award, and described as "Bradley's best [Darkover] novel" by Locus, The Heritage of Hastur tells the complex and compelling tale of the early life of Regis Hastur, Darkover's greatest monarch. It also spins the terrifying and heartbreaking story of those who sought to control the deadly Sharra Matrix, and of how Lew Alton met and lost his greatest love, Marjorie Scott. The most dangerous magical implement on all of Darkover was the infamous, legendary Sharra Matrix. The Sharra Matrix had been exiled offworld in the protective custody of Comyn Lord Lew Alton. But when Lew was called back to Darkover to contest his rights, he had no choice but to bring this dangerous matrix back with him. Once the Sharra Matrix was back, her flaming image spread far and wide, setting in motion events which would change the lands, the seven Domains, and the future of Darkover forever. "Literate and exciting." (The New York Times Book Review)

Rating:  - I tried
One thing I hate is to leave a book unfinished. Therefore I tried again and again to go on reading to give a full review.

Nevertheless I never got involved in the story, I never could relate ... Read More
Rating:  - Best Darkover novels
This novels togheter are maybe the best of all Darkover novels. After reading more than 10 of the Bradley`s saga, I must say this are the one`s I`ve enjoyed the most. First they`re about the destiny of the planet itself, and history of the Comyn as we know, but not only that, the whole story is told by the eyes of Regis Hastur and Lew Alton, maybe two of the best characters trough the Darkover saga, and their personal struggles are a big plus to the story. Unfortunaly you have to endure some of the lesser ... Read More
Rating: - Great writing kept alive!
I was happy to see this and other older stories by MZB in this form since when I first found her books, sadly, most were out of print. Thank you doing this so that others can read and enjoy her superb works!
Rating: - Two classic novels of Darkover
This two-in-one volume combines the already classic "Darkover" novels THE HERITAGE OF HASTUR (1975) and its direct sequel SHARRA'S EXILE (1981). If you have yet to discover the magic of Marion Zimmer Bradley's legendary creation, this a perfect volume to get introduced to the world of the bloody sun and its inhabitants. Read about the unwilling Comyn heir Regis Hastur, his forbidden love to his paxman Danilo Syrtis. Read about the dangerous Sharra matrix, a conspiration to overthrow the Comyn Council and numerous ... Read More
