Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky
A novella that could have used a few more pages. Young princess heads to the wizard's tower to get help from the wizard for defeating a monster ravaging the country or neighboring country. As we soon learn, the wizard isn't a wizard but an anthropologist from a much more technologically advanced society sent her to study the locals. And the wizard is not supposed to interfere with the locals. He is just supposed to observe. It goes on from there.
It's well written. It just seems like there is a bunch of narrative missing.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
