A few years after a fire burned down the palace where she'd been sent as a hostage, Princess Thanh has returned home to her mother and, despite her mother's expectations, is ready to begin diplomatic work for her country. Thanh, however, is taken by surprise when her first negotiation is with Princess Eldris, with whom Thanh had a brief affair before Eldris's palace burned down. Suddenly, her romantic and diplomatic plans are intertwined, and there may be some magical complications.
For such a short story, this world is very well-created, though I felt like the magical elements and relationships could have benefited from more development. That said, it's a solid quick read
