The Stick Princess

Alexandra, the Empress-in-Waiting of the Thousand Worlds, might seem to be the usual beautiful, biddable, and self-disciplined display-princess of a galactic empire. But in addition to her encyclopedic knowledge of correct behavior, she has two important things going for her: a secret identity, and a close personal friendship with an unpredictable source of unimaginable magical power. When her security forces conspire to take over the Empire, and when her sorcerous advisors kidnap her against her will, she is on her own and on the run. Can she stand against insurrection and forced marriage, endure bad hair and worse outfits, defeat her enemies and her would-be friends, and enlist the aid of magic itself to save the galaxy? In the third book of the Ways of Magic series, set in the same universe and at the same time as Nameless Magery and Of Swords and Spells, the future of the Empire and all its inhabitants are at stake, and everything depends on the Stick Princess.
