Just finished "The Paladin", by C.J. Cherryh, bought from Baen in 2005. A most enjoyable read. I suppose Baen classify it as fantasy, but it's clearly set in Imperial China, although that's never explicitly stated. The basic storyline is a teenage girl who approaches an exiled warrior who lives in seclusion on a mountain, and demands to be trained as a sword-master in order to avenge herself on the wicked lord who killed her family.
Very highly recommended!
