The Parnassian Courante
Courtly scholar Astrid and warrior-princess Nik are in love. Nik’s father insists that she has to marry a man, so Nik says that any man who can defeat her in combat may marry her. But Astrid’s strength lies in manners and politics, not swords and staves, and the contest Nik designed to eschew the wrong suitors may mean that she can never be with the right one.
