Upon returning to Arras (Mars) after tying up some loose ends on Earth, Jafarr Zeldar and Zormna Clendar discover their battle to reform Arras is not quite over. It takes a lot more to overthrow ten thousand years of the caste system framework and ideology—especially when one wants to keep the bloodshed at a minimum. And though they have the alliance of the military and the rebellion to fall back on, Zormna and Jafarr discover that everyone has an expectation of what should happen next—most especially with their queen, Zormna. They had not had a queen for over ten millennia, and Zormna finds she is facing a more romantic view of what a queen is and does in the minds of her citizens. As an orphan raised to be the perfect soldier, she is not too happy with it. It involves frilly stuff and the insane notion that she ought to get married ASAP. But she is only 15, and that is the furthest from her mind. [mehr]

The son of a city lord in the golden age of Arras, Zeldar Tarrn was the center of Knarr high society scandal as the love child from his father’s first marriage—the result of an illicit love affair with a woman from a society of people set apart from their own aristocratic caste. Paparazzi sought out Zeldar, the young half-blood, to catch pictures of the otherwise charming and talented young lord, a constant reminder that he was a freak of nature. Yet who would know that Zeldar’s destiny lay beyond dealing with embarrassing camera shots, scheming matchmakers, and the occasional social snub? With a penchant for trouble, Zeldar finds himself the center of more scandal when he chooses to attend Red Hall, a lower-class university, starting a chain reaction of events that alters his life forever. Dealing with rejection, hostility, and forced to fight to keep his place in a society that does not want anything to do with a half-blood, Zeldar ends up in an arranged marriage with one of Knarr’s most eligible ladies of business, to set his reputation back on track. Adverse to it at first, Zeldar soon changes his mind upon meeting his fiancée in person, so overtaken by his bride’s charms that he decides to do whatever is necessary to win her heart, even if it means leaving behind his former ideals. But Zeldar is unable to remain out of trouble for long. Haunted by nightmares of the destruction of Arras, his college friends also inform him of a political crisis that could strip every landless citizen of their rights to a vote, begging him to be their champion by taking up his inherited seat in the Knarr Parliament to speak for them. Zeldar has a choice to make—should he remain silent to keep his inheritance, or speak out against all the things that have condemned his very existence yet lose even the woman he loves? The story of Zeldar Tarrn, the famous ancestor of Zormna Clendar and Jafarr Zeldar. [mehr]

"Society" Is An Ambiguous Term; It May Mean Much Or Nothing. Every Human Being--Unless Dwelling Alone In A Cave--Is A Member Of Society Of One Sort Or Another, And Therefore It Is Well To Define What Is To Be Understood By The Term "Best Society" And Why Its Authority Is Recognized. Best Society Abroad Is Always The Oldest Aristocracy; Composed Not So Much Of Persons Of Title, Which May Be New, As Of Those Families And Communities Which Have For The Longest Period Of Time Known Highest Cultivation. Our Own Best Society Is Represented By Social Groups Which Have Had, Since This Is America, Widest Rather Than Longest Association With Old World Cultivation. Cultivation Is Always The Basic Attribute Of Best Society, Much As We Hear In This Country Of An "Aristocracy Of Wealth." [mehr]

When, in 1860, with the permission of the czar, Prince Pierre Olsdorf married Mlle. Lise Barineff, the Russian aristocracy was rather scandalized by the mésalliance. Everybody was well aware that the new princess was born not only before the marriage of her mother, Mme. Froment, with the Count Barineff, but even some months before Mme. Froment appeared in St. Petersburg, where, at the Michael Theater, she was brilliantly successful both as a woman and as an artiste. [mehr]

"Id Dico, Eum Qui Sit Orator, Virum Bonum Esse Oportere. In Omnibus Quae Dicit Tanta Auctoritas Inest, Ut Dissentire Pudeat; Nec Advocati Studium, Sed Testis Aut Judicis Afferat Fidem."--Quintilianus. "Democracy Is The Most Monstrous Of All Governments, Because It Is Impossible At Once To Act And Control; And, Consequently, The Sovereign Power Is Then Left Without Any Restraint Whatever. That Form Of Government Is The Best Which Places The Efficient Direction In The Hands Of The Aristocracy, Subjecting Them In Its Exercise To The Control Of The People At Large."--Sir James Mackintosh.

There Is Nothing In New England Corresponding At All To The Feudal Aristocracies Of The Old World. Whether It Be Owing To The Stock From Which We Were Derived, Or To The Practical Working Of Our Institutions, Or To The Abrogation Of The Technical "Law Of Honor," Which Draws A Sharp Line Between The Personally Responsible Class Of "Gentlemen" And The Unnamed Multitude Of Those Who Are Not Expected To Risk Their Lives For An Abstraction,--Whatever Be The Cause, We Have No Such Aristocracy Here As That Which Grew Up Out Of The Military Systems Of The Middle Ages.
