Shebat came to the empire of the Kerrions from nowhere, brought by a renegade son into that vast family regime and its endless territorial possessions. Now she stood to inherit the majesty and riches which lay before her, stretching enticingly deep into the infinities of space. Magical seductress of men, passionate in her lust for power, she moved among those who controlled the destinies of millions, for whom treachery and betrayal were as easy as murder.

The Kerrion consuls - from their luxurious headquarters on Draconis they reign over a great merchant empire.

GREAT SHAPE FOR A BOOK THIS AGE-REALLY IS LIKE NEW THE COVER ON THIS BOOK SHOWS VERY MINOR EDGE WEAR. THE COLORS ARE STILL BRIGHT AND VIVID AND JUST VERY MINOR FLAWS TO THIS COVER. THE BINDING IS STILL TIGHT AND THE SPINE DOES HAVE SOME MINOR CREASES BUT NOTHING TO RUIN THE INTEGRITY OF THIS GREAT BOOK. THE OUTSIDE PAGES HAVE YELLOWED BUT THE INSIDE PAGES ARE STILL IN TERRIFIC SHAPE. EVEN WITH THESE MINOR FLAWS, THIS IS STILL A WONDERFUL PAPERBACK BOOK.
