Thendara House is a science fantasy novel by American writer Marion Zimmer Bradley, part of her Darkover series and a sequel to The Shattered Chain. It was originally published by DAW Books (No. 544) in 1983. The book was co-written by Jacqueline Lichtenberg, without credit.
The title refers to the Thendera Guildhouse of Renunciates, a religio-military sisterhood whose members live independently from Darkover's rigid patriarchal society.
In terms of the Darkover timeline, the events of Thendera House take place three or four years after The Spell Sword and about two years after the events of The Forbidden Tower.
