In this installment of the acclaimed Miles Vorkosigan saga, love, subatomic physics, and incompatible sexual politics collide in the Vor Empire. As Emperor Gregor's wedding approaches, Miles Vorkosigan finds himself head-over-heels for the beautiful widow Ekaterin Vorsoisson, who is violently allergic to marriage after her first experience. Determined to win her over, Miles hatches a cunning plan, while other members of his family navigate their own romantic pursuits and destinies amidst domestic political squabbles and capitalist enterprises.
