Treason by Orson Scott Card - an all-time favorite

Lanik Muellers birthright as heir to planet Treasons most powerful rulership will never be realized. He is a rad -- radical regenerative. A freak among people who can regenerate injured flesh... and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. For, on a planet without hard metals -- or the means of escape -- iron is power in the race to build a spacecraft.
Iron is the promise of freedom -- which may never be fulfilled as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination.
Now charged with a mission of conquest -- and exile -- Lanik devises a bold and dangerous plan... a quest that may finally break the vicious chain of rivalry and bloodshed that enslaves the people of Treason as the Offworld never could. (20050317)

an all-time favorite
Treason is not only my favorite Orson Scott Card novel, but one of my favorite all-time novels. I generally lean toward Sci-Fi over Fantasy, but stll like this creative and well-constructed story despite the heavy Fantasy element.

I have returned to re-read it several times, and keep wondering when someone will make a film version. The story and visual elements would translate well to film, but I suppose there is too little franchise potential or cult following to justify it, especially in an industry that would rather bet on a sure horse than take a creative risk.
