Lythande

Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley

Back cover blurb:

Lythande (pronounced Lee THOND) was pledged by sword and spell to forever fight the forces of chaos...

A pilgrim Adept of the Blue Star, Lythande had mastered all the true magics of the world. But the power of an Adept was always bound to a Secret, and whoever discovered this sorcerer's Secret could steal away the Blue Star power, leaving the Adept defenceless, fit only for death...

And Lythande's Secret was the most dangerous of all, setting the mage apart from all humanity, forcing Lythande to war against spell beast, sorcerer, thief, swordsman, and the magic of the gods themselves...
