Ellen Kushner's The Privilege of the Sword
The sequel to Swordspoint is set a few decades later, and focuses on the Mad Duke inviting his niece to live with him—and train with the sword. Obviously political intrigues and duels ensue! My favorite part of this is how all the teen girls are obsessed with a tragic romance novel, so real. And of course the triumphant ending! So good.
