Smith, Sherwood - Court Duel : 256 pages, © 1998
Six months after the events of Crown Duel, Meliara is rebuilding her home in the mountains when she receives a summons to the capital to assist in the choosing of the new king, and to attend her brother's impending wedding. But Mel has never been to court, and she must find a way to navigate the new intrigues of nobility, all while dealing with a mysterious suitor.
Red Flags:
Some casual mention of sex ("twoing"), but only in passing ("She's not twoing with anyone"). War is planned but averted.
Series:
Crown Duel
A Stranger to Command (prequel, but suggest reading it last, as per publication order)
Readalikes:
Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn
The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner
Maledicte by Lane Robins (for more mature audiences, and with a darker tone)
