Courtesan Prince, The

From two cultures that should never meet, come four people who do: Ann, Von, Di Mon and Ranar. Reetions Ranar (anthopologist) and Ann (pilot)came to check out what the socially primitive neo-feudal people of Sevildom have been up to in the last 200 years. What they discover will threaten their own civilization. Di Mon, Sevolite king-maker, aristocrat and champion for his beleaguered house under Sword Law, finds the one thing he's avoided at all costs: love. Hot-headed Reetion pilot, Ann, learn that true love has a price. And Von, the sword-dancer and Courtesan, is somehow the key to it all. First book of the character-driven science fiction series called The Okal Rel Saga.
