* TheMistress: Savedra, to Nikos, the Crown Prince of Selafai. Their relationship actually precedes his marriage, but as Savedra is a transsexual, marriage between them is not permitted; a lot of the point of a Royal marriage is heirs, after all. Despite her unhappiness at Nikos having to marry Ashlin, a foreign warrior princess, the two women become friends; there are more strains between Nikos and Ashlin than between Ashlin and Savedra.

* FeministFantasy: It doesn't hit you too hard over the head with it, but Selafai and elsewhere appear to be fairly egalitarian as to gender. We see many women in what would be considered male roles in our world, including a female police inspector and captain of the guard, and nobody acts like this is unusual. Crown Prince Nikos isn't a warrior, while his wife Ashlin is, and Savedra, while not a warrior, certainly knows how to fight and is an effective counter-assassin.
