Synopsis

On the neo-Provençal world of Nou Occitan, young troubadour Giraut Leones lives a life of poetry, dueling, and romantic excess. When the newly connected interstellar springer network opens his insular culture to the wider universe, he must confront the clash between tradition and change on a puritanical colony world.
