In "Conquerors' Heritage," the perspective shifts from the Humans to the Zhirrh, an alien race thought to be the vicious "Conquerors" in the first book of the series, "Conquerors' Pride." A series of stunning revelations will change the listeners perception of the struggle between this alien race and humanity, showing why there may be two sides to their conflict.

The story centers on two brothers, Thrr-gilag and Thrr-mezaz - one a specialist at interpreting alien cultures and the other a warrior. Each is desperately attempting to understand the ways of Humans, whom they know nothing about except they are the Enemy.
