The Gray Prince
Serialized as "The Domains of Koryphon" in 1974. All book editions between 1975 and 2007 used the title "The Gray Prince".
When Schaine Madduc returned to Koryphon after five years in space, her home planet was not as she left it. The several intelligent species that had lived so long in a sort of symbiotic harmony were at each other's throats.
Most prominently, the humanoid Uldra were united in rebellion against the human land-holding community of which Schaine was part.
But Schaine was even more a part than she realized, for the Uldra revolutionary leader and catalyst – the Gray Prince Jorjol – was actually an Uldra fostered in Schaine's own home, and upon whom Schaine had exerted a profound influence. An influence far more profound than Schaine would have thought possible. An influence possibly powerful enough to smash her home, her family, and her entire way of life!
