YAQueen's Thief series.
When he's given a whispered warning that his master has been poisoned, Kamet, slave and secretary to the Mede emperor's nephew, must flee for his life; fortuitously, an Attolian soldier offers to escort him to Attolia. Turner deepens the quasi-classical world of her Queen's Thief stories (beginning with The Thief), developing familiar characters even as she introduces a new landscape and culture. Thoroughly tricky, insightful, and satisfying.
