Jaran (Jaran #1) by Kate Elliott
★ 8.00 / 1

Heir to the Empire

Tess had been cursed by an accident of birth, cursed to be the sister of the one man honored by the alien conquerors of human-run space. Her brother, Charles Sorensen, the leader of Earth's rebellion, had been given a dukedom after his defeat and now ruled over far-distant worlds. And Tess was his only heir, a position and a responsibility she was not yet willing to assume. So she fled to a world in his brother's domain, a world where – she was soon to discover – the alien conquerors were themselves involved in some covert and dangerous mission.

And despite herself, Tess was suddenly forced to become both player and pawn in an interstellar game of intrigue and politics, caught between protecting her brother's interests, and her own growing involvment with Ilya, the leader of the nomadic tribe with whom she had taken shelter. But it soon became apparent to Tess that wether Charles or the aliens were the victors here, Ilya and his people were balanced at a crucial point in their history – a point at which they muth either learn to adapt to the incursions of more advanced civilizations or, by remaining rooted in their own traditions, face inevitable extinction.
