Carialle, a ship driven driven by the mind of a human who had once been disabled, and Keff, her inhabitant, arrive at a planet of furry beings, which are controlled by powerful sorcerers, which possess teleportation and telekinesis powerful enough to trap the ship upon the planet.
Mages float on thrones where they can combat one another, killing to get new secrets and magical possessions. Carielle helps Keff navigate attempts to take his life and grip on reality. Together the pair have to uncover the secret of sorcerers' power in order to thwart or "unseat," so to speak, the planet's strange rulers.
A fun addition to the series.
Jody Lynn Nye published a solo sequel, The Ship Errant.
