City of Sorcery is a science fantasy novel by American writer Marion Zimmer Bradley, part of her Darkover series.

In terms of the Darkover timeline, City of Sorcery falls in the era identified by the author as Recontact (Against the Terrans: The First Age).

Magda Lorne learns from her supervisor, Cholayna Ares, that a Terran operative, Alexis Anders, has survived a plane crash in the Hellers a week earlier.

After a bit of telepathic probing, Anders abruptly appears to have recovered, though she remembers nothing of her past week’s ordeal.

Later, in retelling the story to Camilla at the Guildhouse, Magda recalls her three previous experiences with mystical visions of the Dark Sisterhood, and crows, which seem to be their avatars.

With Jaelle's assistance, Magda makes contact with the Forbidden Tower, but they are unable to explain Anders' experiences.

Magda goes into the Overworld to ask the advice of the Forbidden Tower, but is confronted by an ancient crone who repeatedly warns her to turn back.

High in the Hellers, they meet Kyntha, who explains that they have arrived at the holy house of the goddess, Avarra, and offers to care for their injuries.

Outside the books of this trilogy, it is revealed that Jaelle was the mother of Cleindori (Dorilys Aillard), and Damon Ridenow, the protagonist in The Spell Sword, was her father.
