  • The Novels of the Jaran, also known as the Jaran Series, are a series of Speculative Fiction novels by Kate Elliot. They are set an unspecified amount of time into the future, when humanity discovered interstellar travel and was absorbed into the enormous Chapalii Empire, an empire ruled by the long-lived and patient Chapalii. Humanity once tried to rebel and throw off the yoke of the Chapalii, only to fail. The leader of the rebellion, Charles Soerensen, was ennobled to the rank of Duke (or Tai, in the Chapalii language), one of the highest ranks in their stratified society, only bowing to Princes and the Emperor himself. He was given two systems as his fief, the Dao Cee system with its newly raped for its resources planet of Odys, and the recently discovered Rhui system. Rhui was unique, since one of its planets contained a species so like humans that they were genetically compatible, but at a much lower level of technology. To protect his "cousins" from the greed of the Chapalii, Charles interdicted the planet, allowing only minimal contact with the natives and the truth about their origins to be kept secret. Tess Soerensen, Charles' sister, is a highly talented linguist who, while on a Chapalii vessel, discovers a plot to secretly visit the interdicted world. Stowing away on their shuttlecraft, she finds herself far from explored lands and thrown in the the Jaran, a nomadic people whose leader is slowly united their tribes and planning to conquer all the lands. Meanwhile, Charles is slowly plotting rebellion against the Empire, determined to free humanity from their grip once and for all. There are currently 4 novels in the series: Jaran (1992), An Earthly Crown (1993), His Conquering Sword (1993), and The Law of Becoming (1994). While the author has expressed her intent to finish the series at some point, nothing has been heard about it for almost 10 years.
