I don't know... Verra or the chunk of Trellanstone. At any rate, I'm sure Mr. Brust could swing it... somehow. Also, the name being one of the Great Houses is also an assumption, as there is precedence in _Taltos_ of using some other non-House name as the title of one of the books. So, it could be _Kieron_, about the return of Kieron the Conquerer, come to whoop up on Aliera for giving his sword away, _Verra_, _e'Drien_, etc. Although _Issola_ was about the Jenoine, there could, without stretching the imagination too far, even been a book titled _Jenoine_, or even _Serioli_. Brust is good enough at improvisation that he could swing any of these, I would guess. -- Matthew S. Klahn Software Architect, CodeTek Studios, Inc. http://www.codetek.com
