Description
Captain Ivan Vorpatril is happy with his relatively uneventful bachelorâs life as a staff officer to a Barrayaran admiral. Cousin to imperial troubleshooter Miles Vorkosigan, Ivan is not far down the hereditary list for the emperorship. Thankfully, new heirs have directed that headache elsewhere, leaving Ivan to enjoy his life on Komarr, far from the byzantine court politics of his home system. But when an old friend in Barrayaran intelligence asks Ivan to protect an attractive young woman who may be on the hit list of a criminal syndicate, his chivalrous nature takes over. It seems danger and adventure have once more found Captain Vorpatril.Tej Arqua and her half-sister and servant Rish are fleeing the violent overthrow of their clan on free-for-all planet Jacksonâs Whole. Now it seems Tej may possess a secret of which even shemay not be awareâa secret that could corrupt the heart of a highly regarded Barrayaran family and provide the final advantage for the thugs who seek to overthrow Tejâs homeworld. But none of Tejâs formidable adversaries have counted on Ivan Vorpatril. For behind Ivanâs façade of wry and self-effacing humor lies a true and cunning protector who will never leave a distressed lady in the lurchâmaking the ultimate sacrifice to keep her from harm: the treasured and hard-won freedom from his own fate as a scion of Barrayar.
