YASeven Realms series.
Former street lord Han Alister finds a magical amulet. When gang members are murdered, Han realizes the killers are after the amulet. Meanwhile, heir-to-the-throne Princess Raisa's sixteenth name-day approaches, when she becomes eligible to be courted. Readers follow the highly likable characters in plot strands that touch and separate and re-form, creating an ambitious web of politics and intrigue.
