Sasharia en Garde! Books in Order

This series is Sherwood Smith in full swashbuckling romantic mode. The heroine, Sasha, has grown up hidden in Los Angeles with her mother, far from the kingdom that once swept her family into royal danger. That distance does not last.

When Sasha is taken back to her mother's homeland, the story turns into a fast-moving mix of identity crisis, court danger, piracy, and romance. She is ready to fight, but far less ready for the political knots waiting for her. A stylish pirate may be an ally or an enemy. A prince may be dreamy, dangerous, or both.

The books work by keeping the action personal. Sasha is not just reclaiming a title or solving a kingdom's problem. She is trying to figure out who she is when the hidden past becomes public and when the roles offered to her do not fit neatly.

The tone stays light on its feet even when the stakes rise. There is swordplay, pursuit, bad-guy energy, and plenty of romantic confusion. If you like fantasy that feels half court adventure and half spirited fairy tale, this is that side of Smith's work.
