The Queen's Chair (The Queen's Chair, #1)

A merchant's spare daughter disembarks to her new life in a city filled with pixies, elves, and magic.

Stasia Fielding-Horne has always loved trying new things, but Verida may be a bridge too far. Magic courses through the city, the whole place is run by a queen, of all things, and the creature out digging up the front yard is apparently not a gopher but a low elf. When she falls in with the king's guard at a bar one night, she's going to find out that magic isn't the only thing that makes this city complicated.

Now in the employ of the queen, give or take, Stasia is going to go up against thieves and magic and the natural forces of the city itself. She may not be bored anymore, but she's got a lot of work to do to figure out how to not only survive Verida, but make this her new home.
