The Shadow Matrix

Description

After spending her youth in the Terran Empire, Margaret Alton returns to Darkover, the planet of her birth. There she discovers she has the Alton Gift--forced rapport and compulsion--one of the strongest and most dangerous of the inherited "Laran" gifts of the telepathic Comyn--the ruling families of Darkover. And even as she struggles to control her newfound powers, Margaret finds herself falling in love with the Regent to the royal Elhalyn Domain, a man she has been forbidden to marry, for their alliance would irrevocably alter the power balance of their planet!

Description

Margaret, heir to the Alton Domain, is marked with a mysterious power symbol that even the sages don't understand. To make matters worse, she is at the center of a political struggle, forbidden to marry her true love Mikhail, regent to the Elhalyn Domain. When the lovers are drawn to an ancient Tower, they are sent back through time, awaited by a dread Keeper, who sends them on a perilous quest.
