Few succeed in the long, painful years of training. The ones who do have power greater than any queen, but what happens to the ones who don’t? Darkover technology is based on matrix stones that amplify psychic gifts, and people with those gifts work in the Tower circles. But duty to family outweighs everything else, and anyone can be called home from the Tower to marry as her family dictates. A Comyn lady can have lands, wealth, family…everything but freedom. Women can become Free Amazons, but that life has its own set of challenges.
