Qual romance de Darkover é esse?

5

Lembro vagamente de uma cena em um romance de Darkover que li no começo dos anos 80. Um personagem visita o equivalente darkovano de um quiosque de cartomante cigano com um cristal. A cartomante, uma mulher idosa, segura o cristal na cabeça e consequentemente morre de terror. Eu acho que pode ser The Bloody Sun, mas eu li uma sinopse dele recentemente e nada disso soou como um sino.

Isso é realmente O Sol Sangrento por Marion Zimmer Bradley

Kerwin vai ter sua fortuna contada.

The crystal on the table, his own crystal, glowed and shimmered; the crystal in the wicker frame, between the woman’s slender hands, began slowly to glow with blue fire.

A mulher grita, o cristal racha e ...

Kerwin looked down at the woman, angry and puzzled. She had shown him something—but what did it mean? Why had he screamed? He felt cautiously at his throat. His voice felt frayed.
“What the hell was that all about? I suppose the dark man was my father. But who were the others?”
The woman neither stirred nor spoke, and Kerwin scowled. Drunk, drugged? Not gently, he reached to shake her shoulder. “What was that? What did it mean? Who were they?”
With nightmarish, slow grace, the woman slid down and toppled sideways to the floor. Swearing, Kerwin vaulted the table and knelt at her side, but he already knew what he would discover.
The woman was dead.
