#6 Fireheart Tiger by Aliette de Bodard

[missingvolume]

 Princess Thanh has returned from being a hostage to the peace for her country and now is helping her mother, Empress Eldris negotiate a trade delegation from Yosolis headed by the princess she once had a relationship with.  Her mother doesn’t know about the former relationship and they quickly start to pick up where they were before and look into a possible alliance.  But Thanh is hiding a secret of what happened when she was a hostage and a fire that destroyed the palace of Eldris’ family.  Small fires start around Thanh no matter what she does and this secret is about to change everything in her life.  A nice tight story that has a good ending but plenty of room for more stories set in this same universe.
