The yen-ar is BE 6325. Queen Isabelle of house Gurun is only queen for the last five yen-ars following her father's retirement from public service due to cancer. Isabelle's legal heir, Prince Anwell has abdicated his birth right for reasons that will not become clear for generations. Now her representative petitions the Great Council to change the ancient law prohibiting daughters from inheriting their mother's titles and offices, a law rooted in the distant warrior past on another world (A672E92 Quintus) long destroyed when its star went nova. The Great Council refuses. What happens next is a crisis of succession not seen since the last civil war in BE 1301, a great succession crisis whose consequences will be felt for generations and will transform the life of the queen's daughter, Princess Anlei. Part one of the Legacy of Princess Anlei Trilogy.
