The Wilding by C. S. Friedman

Description: Two hundred years have passed since Anzha lyu Mitethe's psychics were scattered to the far ends of the galaxy. They are legendary creatures now, rumored to be half mad from the mental fallout of the Institute's destruction, surfacing but rarely to raid the Empire for supplies, information...or more human trade goods. In the Holding, the proud Braxana have attended to the needs of their gene pool with typically barbaric elan, resurrecting traditions that have not been in play since their tribe inhabited the Blood Steppes. In the shadow of their newfound obsession other tribes stir, wondering if the time to unseat them has come at last... while the echoes of Zatar's curse reverberate in the chambers of a power.

Fleeing the Pale Ones, a Kesserit prince named Tathas finds himself bound on a quest any sane Braxin should fear more than death itself. Leaving her home in search of her own heritage, an Azean Mediator named Zara discovers there are landscapes within herself more terrible than any alien battlefield. Seeking her long-lost kin, the renegade psychic Rho will find them both, and in them discover the threads of a conspiracy so vast it encompasses all of human-explored space, and stretches back in time to the days of infamous vendetta....
