The Heritage of Hastur

Blurb

The Heritage of Hastur is a science-fiction novel written by Marion Zimmer Bradley as part of the Darkover series. It was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1975. It is notable for its exploration of sexual themes, particularly the view that homosexuality is a normal variant of human sexuality.
The Heritage of Hastur is set in what Bradley called Darkover's Second Age Against the Terrans. In The Bloody Sun, Lew Alton is described as age 11, which suggests that this book takes place 10–15 years later.
