Promotional mass-market paperback issued by Del Rey as a "Special Free Edition" to re-introduce readers to Hambly’s classic Darwath trilogy ahead of her return to the series with Mother of Winter (Del Rey, Oct. 1996). +++ Cover art by David B. Mattingly—the same wizard-in-a-kitchen image he created for the original 1982 Del Rey edition. +++ The back panel’s "Coming this fall: Mother of Winter" notice ties this giveaway to the 1996 sequel’s release window. +++ Format & contents: Full text of the novel in publisher’s wraps; "Special Free Edition" burst to front; "Cover printed in USA" to rear. (Standard mmpb size.) Condition: No flaws or blemishes beyond minimal handling and light, even toning; no spine crease—appears unread. Includes an unattached, adhesive-backed Barbara Hambly signed bookplate (hand-signed), laid in. Ref: ISFDB, PublishersWeekly.
