Peg Kerr's Emerald House Rising
Well, I really loved this. It has everything I love: magic, mystery, court politics, an ambitious heroine, etc. Our protagonist is a young woman who is apprenticed as a jeweler under her father when she discovers she has the ability to do magic, and obviously adventures ensue. But the plot never went where I expected, there are so many cool women, the magic is so interesting, and the conclusion is very satisfying. This was first published in 1997 but it feels very modern (though it is very hetero, but otherwise!). A.
