Summary
The Lady Alanna Daskaz is happy to ignore her noble heritage. She prefers to serve as administrator to Gregory III, king of Askazer-Shivadlakia and a brother in everything but name. But then news arrives from Galia, a small nation over the mountains: the ruling duke has died, and the throne is empty. The same day, an envoy from Galia arrives to inform Alanna that she is now a duchess, the daughter of the duke's only cousin and heir to his title and his throne.
If Alanna is going to straighten this out, she's going to have to go to Galia herself. Dragging her best friend Jerry, the Duke of Shivadlakia, along with her, Alanna arrives to discover that the Palazzo is full of intrigue, and they're in need of strong governance. Surrounded by people she isn't sure she can trust, Alanna finds Jerry's ability to ferret out information useful -- until she discovers Jerry has a few secrets of his own.
There's a lot to fix in Galia, but Alanna doesn't want to become ruler, especially not with a precious new romance blossoming in the shadow of Galia's power struggle. Her best option might be the rumor that the duke had a secret child -- if she can figure out who it is, and how to get them on the throne instead.
