Summary
Fleeing the heat of battle in a wounded spacecraft, Kelric
crash-lands on a proscribed planet where a matriarchy rules
through the medium of a complex game. The women in power help
to heal him, but destroy his ship and determine that he can
never leave - for his knowledge of their world, if revealed to
the Empire, would cause the rapid fall of their civilization.
And so his rescue turns into an imprisonment of years, decades,
a time in which he finds love and a challenging place in the
universal game.
