For their annual Pride Treasure Hunt in 2025, the team behind LibraryThing wrote a series of twelve clues in the forms of small poems. One of them happened to be one of Ellen's works.

Their tenth clue reads:

This fantasy novel and first of a series,
Is a swashbuckling tale that subtly queries,
The meaning of honor and nature of love,
Full of duels, adventure, and all things thereof.

Can you guess which book matches the clue? Check your answer and explore the rest of the hunt at LibraryThing’s site.
