A CLASSIC OF THE LIADEN UNIVERSE(R)!
Master trader Er Thom knows the local custom of Liaden is to be matched
with a proper bride and provide his prominent clan Korval with an heir.
Yet his heart is immersed in another universe, influenced by another
culture, and lost to a woman not of his world. And to take a Terran
wife, such as scholar Anne Davis, is to risk his honor and reputation.
But when he discovers that their brief encounter years before has
resulted in the birth of a child, even more is at stake than anyone
imagined. Now an interstellar scandal has erupted, a bitter war between
two families--galaxies apart--has begun, and the only hope for Er Thom
and Anne is a sacrifice neither is prepared to make. . . .
