![]() ![]() Gregor's father, the real putative heir to the Barrayaran throne, was killed in the Escobaran War, and many counts in the Vor military aristocracy are eyeing the chance to increase their power. Opening right at the point Shards of Honor ends, Barrayar concerns itself with the Regency of Aral Vorkosigan, who has married Betan survey captain Cordelia Naismith and settled into the rule of the militarist and classist Barrayar during the infancy of the imperial heir Gregor Vorbarra. Though a handful of novels in the Vorkosigan saga separate them in their publication order, Barrayar is the direct sequel to Shards of Honor and depicts the birth of Miles against a backdrop of insurrection and civil war. With Barrayar, Lois McMaster Bujold became the first writer since Orson Scott Card to win the Best Novel Hugo two years running. ![]()
