A very good fantasy novel. Madia, the daughter of the King of Ariman, is exiled from court due her wilful disobedience of her father. While she is absent from court, the kingdom is taken over by the Grand Chamberlain, Lord Ferris, who is in fact a Demon Lord in disguise. Madia must seek the aid of the Wizard Frost to try to regain her kingdom, but in order to defeat Ferris, Frost needs the aid of the Demon Blade, a sword forged in the distant past in the demon wars, but now lost.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've actually got both books, since had purchased pretty much every Baen bundle when they came out, up through a couple of years ago, but for some reason, never got around to reading them. I'll have to take a look at it.
