Selo & Inya: Lady of the Court

“Lady of the Court” is the debut novelette in a new series by Ankhesen Mié. This book introduces us to Selo, a young warrior from an all-female society, who is assigned to escort her Princess Abeti to a neighboring kingdom. Abeti is to be married in a "blood marriage" after her mother wins a weary battle.

Upon arrival in at the princess’s new palace, Selo is sent to train as the princess’s Chief Attendant under the tutelage of Inya, the court herbalist. Thus begins a friendship borne of unlikely circumstances, as Selo learns not only the troubling truth about mixed societies, but their royal houses as well.
