Fans of Bradley's Darkover series will welcome [Two to Conquer], set "toward the end of the Ages of Chaos, during … the Time of the Hundred Kingdoms." It is the story of Bard de Asturien, the Kilghard Wolf; ambitious, a mighty warrior, but tragically flawed even as the greatest of Shakespeare's heroes: he is unable to love…. Although set on the fantastic world of Darkover, the story is about the most realistic human emotions. Beautifully written and profoundly moving, it demonstrates that the power of friendship and love between human beings can transcend the usual stereotypes of man/woman relationships.
