A prequel is useful for getting answers to those "how did that come about?" questions we often have after reading a story. These stories reveal how the human ambassador and his wife met a Tolari province ruler and the ruler of the entire planet. The Tolari appear to be country bumpkins stuck in a life style similar to Earth's fuedal period in Europe. All is not as it seems. The ambassador's wife wields more power than her husband, the province ruler is making a power play using the humans as pawns, and the real leader of the Tolari is working hard to keep his people out of the spotlight.Good writing and well worth the read for back-ground material. Editing was fine and most of the characters appear again in Marann.
