Bradley's focus is intimate rather than epic: personal allegiance, family honor, and the emotional cost of power form the core of the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough brief in form, the story anticipates many of the themes that would later define Bradley's Darkover novels: the tension between tradition and change, the responsibility that accompanies psychic ability, and the complex moral terrain of feudal society on a distant world.
