A lost colony founded by stranded scientists, the planet Nuala had long fought a battle with high levels of ground radiation and mutated microbes. It took them 1000 years to stabilize their metals and their genes, reaching back into known space in search of trading partners to buy their rare metals and raw materials, and sell healthy genetic swatches in turn. Nuala's ruling class is based on fertility, and clans with a high number of fertile people hold power--it is that simple. In the great families, it is required that children of power marry off-worlders to purify and strengthen the ruling lines. But wealthy planets attract predators.... "Ms. Kimbriel once again catches our fancy with a subtle and complex plot, weaving an intricate socio-political structure from an imaginative premise." Rave Reviews On The Chronicles of Nuala series: "Fire Sanctuary, her first novel, is a new entry in the unnamed sub genre of science fiction where the Darkover Books of Marion Zimmer Bradley and the Pern books of Anne McCaffrey fall. The intricacies of the well-controlled plot are far too great to go into here -- there is much upheaval, much intrigue, and much romance. . .a particularly fine mix." LOCUS Magazine "An ambitious book, at once a cultural extrapolation, a love story, and the struggle for control of an unusual planet. A tale of loyalties, intrigue, action…entwining the fates of people and worlds." Roger Zelazny, author of The Chronicles of Amber
