Saiyana's Challenge (Tea Princess Chronicles, #3.5)

Dramatic magic, delicate political intrigue, and risky romance? There's only one princess for the job. On paper, everything is fine. The world is saved, after all. But Princess Saiyana, brilliant royal seneschal and one of the two most talented mages in history, is falling apart. Not only has her ordered life been upended, she's poised to lose the love of her life and her longtime rival—the other most talented mage in history—if she doesn't take action. But there are no actions she can take to keep him that won't put both of them in jeopardy. Unless this time, it's her turn to change all the rules. "Saiyana's Challenge" is a novelette set following the events of the Tea Princess Chronicles trilogy and contains spoilers.
