The Queen's Chair - 9219

What do you do with a merchant's spare daughter? What do you do when you are a merchant's spare daughter? Stasia has known her entire life that she was not destined for the lives that her friends and her sisters were expected to lead. Her father, Minstrel Fielding, has a mercantile empire that would make the queen drool, but with two older daughters married off and ready to carry on the legacy of his empire, splitting it a third time adds no value to anyone. So while everyone else is off learning to run a household staff and navigate the politics of high society, Stasia Fielding-Horne learned to fight with a knife. She learned to climb a building. She took long rides across the countryside on her own, and she picked up any new skill she found interesting. And then she found herself in Verida. Verida, where they're battling elves and the annual flood to keep from being pushed into the sea. Where magic flows in the water and everything is new and different. This would have been the opportunity of a lifetime, but for the expectations she conform herself to high society. Verida doesn't know what a spare daughter is any more than Stasia knows how to behave in the presence of a queen. So Stasia is breaking out. She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her, doesn't care how she's expected to behave, and she's about to find that those attitudes are going to throw her in with some very interesting people. People who see her outsider status as an asset. How interesting is too interesting? Will her love of breaking the rules in a city overrun by magic and politics prove to be more dangerous than she can handle?
