Falcons of Narabedla is a swift, strange science-fantasy adventure from Marion Zimmer Bradley, blending lost identity, alien decadence, time displacement, and the eerie pull of another world. Mike Kenscott is no longer certain who-or what-he is. Somewhere along the Time Ellipse, he has become Adric of the Scarlet Tower, drawn into a future world where Terrans and Darkovans have mingled, old powers have decayed, and the only path back to himself may lie in the Keep of the Dreamer and the terrible Falcons of Narabedla.
First published in the May 1957 issue of Other Worlds and later issued in book form as part of an Ace Double, Falcons of Narabedla belongs to the early science-fantasy territory that helped shape Bradley's later reputation. The story offers planetary romance, psychic mystery, dreamlike danger, and the collision of Terran and alien inheritance. Its world is compact but evocative: aristocratic, dangerous, exotic, and haunted by forces that do not fit ordinary human categories.
Fans of vintage science fiction, planetary romance, early Darkover-related fiction, time-slip adventure, and classic magazine SF will find Falcons of Narabedla a fascinating early Bradley work. It offers the kind of high-color speculative storytelling that made mid-century science fantasy so durable: identity in peril, ancient powers, alien cultures, and a hero caught between memory, destiny, and return.
