When the human rebellion against the Chapalii Empire failed, the alien overlords did the unthinkable. They made Charles Soerensen, leader of the rebellion, a duke in their empire, granting him lordship over several worlds, among them Rhui, home to the nomadic tribes known as the jaran. And thus the Chapalii sowed the seeds of a new and more dangerous rebellion, one fought not with starcruisers but by subtler means.
On Rhui, Charles's sister, Tess Soerensen, and her husband, Ilya Bakhtiian, expanded the territories controlled by the jaran, even as Ilya's son inadvertently becaome the catalyst for what could prove a major shift of power.
While on Earth, the jaran who had been exiled from their own planet sought to find a place in their suddenly expanded universe -- a quest which would have sweeping consequences on more than one world.
And in the heart of the Chapalii Empire, the most surprising move of all was about to occur as the Emperor added an unexpected new player to the Game of Princes....
*****
That's the back of the book. This is the fourth Jaran novel, and it doesn't seem quite finished to me. According to the official Kate Elliott site, there is another short story available but I don't think she's going to return to the series. Odd -- you'd think she'd want to finish things. Then, there is that whole Wheel of Time series... ;)
