Patricia McKillip’s Ombria in Shadow
This is a little bit darker and weirder than some of McKillip’s other works, but I still liked it a lot. It focuses on a small kingdom, and what happens to the ruling prince's mistress, bastard nephew, and little son after he dies, and his ancient and powerful great aunt becomes regent. There's also a whole thing with a shadow city, a mysterious sorceress, and her equally mysterious apprentice. The characters are all great but the plot is kind of convoluted. I loved the ending though. B+?
