Marion Zimmer Bradley's most famous work is the Darkover series.  I've
listed them in approximate order of internal chronology.  She's taken an
interesting approach to the internal consistency of the series:  If she
later decides that she earlier wrote something badly (which happens early
in your career), she feels free to ignore those portions which she would
do differently now.  This can frustrate readers that keep a close eye on
the internal logic of a series, but it does free the author to write
better stories when her writing skills have improved.

And as you can see, while Darkover forms a large portion of her work it
is by no means all.  Another major theme is revisionist legends (Arthur -
"The Mists of Avalon", Mozart - "Night's Daughter" & Troy - "The
Firebrand").  Personally I recommend Darkover stories from the Age of
Chaos ("Stormqueen!" & "Hawkmistress!") and "The Mists of Avalon"
(provided you don't mind revisionist arthurian legends).
