The Gray Wolf Throne by Cinda Williams Chima

Long live Queen Mellony!!! Oops, did I say that out loud? Ignore that.

Raisa ana'Marianna, Princess Heir to the Queendom of Fells, is currently on the run from those who would try and kill her.

Han Alister is searching for a woman he claims he doesn't love. She happens to be Rebecca Morley: Raisa.

When the truth about Rebecca's identity comes out, Han is not particulary happy. But he does get some perks; being the lord of a castle he'd never heard of, being appointed to the Wizard Council, access to Raisa's personal quarters. Well, the last one is good and bad at the same time.

And what about Amon Byrne? The handsome Corperal in charge of Raisa's saftey? He's engaged now. Micah Bayar is hitting on Raisa's little sister. Cat is Raisa's chambermaid (whatever that is.)

Han is attempting to bring the past into the present when Crow, his teacher from Aediion that was introduced to us in The Exiled Queen, reveals his surprising past. Hanalea makes an appearance also, but probably not in the way you may think.

Personally, I think that this is the best book Cinda Williams Chima has written. Even though it's slow at the beginning, the pace picks up, and by the end, it will leave you itching for more.
