"Closer to DUNE on an epic scale than to any of the Darkover or Pern novels."

********
On the planet Nuala, the scam that beguiling free-trader Silver has come to join has just been blown to the skies, along with the throne lines of three separate sovereign nations.
The last male heir of one throne line, Sheel Atare, is unprepared to rule, but he's quick to seize allies wherever he can -- like the beautiful and dangerous Silver.
Now Silver has to choose: stick to the scam, or get sucked into the struggle to save Nuala -- and Sheel Atare's life.
REVIEWS
“Radiation, polyamory, and adventure…The world is fascinating, the plot twists and character revelations intricate.â€
—Deborah J. Ross, Author of "The Seven-Petaled Shield"
"A book that should be in every science fiction library as it is complex, engrossing, interesting, compelling, and outstanding. A combination of space opera, romance and mystery. Closer to DUNE on an epic scale than any of the Darkover or Pern novels. If you haven’t read FIRES OF NUALA already...you need to pick it up, pronto. Or you will be missing out on something extraordinary."
