Barrayar

By Lois McMaster Bujold

Barrayar continues the story of Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan as her husband Aral becomes Regent for the child Emperor Gregor following the old emperor's death. Adjusting to a demanding new public role on a conservative, war-scarred planet, Cordelia navigates Barrayaran court politics, the open hostility of rival factions, and the ever-present threat of assassination, while also caring for the volatile former soldier Sergeant Bothari and his infant daughter. As Aral's regency consolidates power against vocal political opposition, an attack on his motorcade makes clear that the danger to the new government is far from over.
