The Sword of Aldones is a sword and planet novel by American writer Marion Zimmer Bradley, part of her Darkover series. It was first published by Ace Books in 1962, dos-à-dos with her other novel The Planet Savers. Bradley revised and rewrote the novel publishing it as Sharra's Exile in 1981.
In his 1977 review of the re-release of The Sword of Aldones, Lester del Rey wrote that "it presents a somewhat different Darkover than we find in later novels. But even the early stories have the wonderful allure of this strange world".
