Martha Wells: Wheel of the infinite. (2000, HarperCollins)

Maskelle is the voice of the adversary, but the adversary appears to have abandoned her …

I've enjoyed it several times over the years. The cover is deceptive; the hero-looking guy on the front is the sidekick. The main character is a middle-aged black woman (pictured on the back). One of the first representations of both a black woman or one over 30 I found while growing up. It is over 30 years old so the writing may not be as good as her current projects but it has a special place for me.
