Jaran: the First Novel of the by Kate Elliott (Paperback, 2003)

Tess had been cursed by an accident of birth, cursed to be the sister of the one man hored by the alien conquerors of human-run space. Her brother, Charles Soerensen, the leader of Earth s rebellion, had been given a dukedom after his defeat and w ruled over far-distant worlds. And Tess was his only heir, a position and a responsibility she was t yet willing to assume. So she fled to a world in her brother s domain, a world where she was soon to discover the alien conquerors were themselves involved in some covert and dangerous mission. And despite herself, Tess was suddenly forced to become both player and pawn in an interstellar game of intrigue and politics, caught between protecting her brother s interests, and her own growing involvement with Ilya the leader of the madic tribe with whom she had taken shelter. But it soon became apparent to Tess that whether Charles or the aliens were the victors here, Ilya and his people were balanced at a crucial point in their history a point at which they must either learn to adapt to the incursions of more advanced civilizations or, by remaining rooted in their own traditions, face inevitable extinction.
