Law
of Becoming
(Jaran #4)
The Game of Princes: 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' sister, Tess Soerensen, and her husband, Ilya Bakhtiian, expanded the territories controlled by the Jaran, even as Ilya's son inadvertently became 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 . . . .

"The younger generation, forward-sighted and tough-minded, get into the act and the novel earns its title. The name of the game (the princes' game) is expansion by negotiation and treaty, not bloody battles. This book is wonderful reading for Elliott fans." Kliatt "Just when you think you know where this epic is going, Ms. Elliott impressively pulls the carpet right out from under your feet and opens up dazzling new vistas for your imagination to savor."

Another wonderful Jim Burns cover that captures the heart of 16-year-old Ilyana Arkhanov, one of the protagonists. Click on image to see it full-sized. |
