Chronicles of Tarc

Ore, messenger and personal knight of the Regent of Suiran and guardian of the golden-red-haired Mizi, the Second Prince's beloved, finds himself assisting her in tending to a woman found in an accident in the mountains. It's a normal situation the tenderhearted Court Healer puts them into; however, when they learn their patient's name the past Ore has been running from suddenly must be faced. Because Ilena has information necessary to Prince Rei, she'll be staying for a while - if they can keep her alive. Can Ore trust that she will free him from the death threat hanging over his head...or is she the bait to lead him right into the trap he fears? The more secrets she reveals, and the more he learns about her, the more difficult it is for him to reject her sudden unwitting presence in his life. Chronicles of Tarc is a journey of adventure, love, and hope in a future when a past has been difficult and bleak. Through effort and perseverance, dreams can come true and "happily ever after" is more than three words when it's walked hand in hand with a true partner and companion.

Lord of Tarc does not fight with armies, but with subterfuge and lies that poison the land.

At the same time, Rei has to deal with the responsibilities of being Regent of Suiran and Mizi learns what it really means to be a princess. Ore, on the other hand, has to learn how to deal with having Ilena as a wife as he also learns to come into his own position within the court of Suiran and leadership of Ryokudo.

Ore, with the help of Prince Rei and Mizi, works to teach Ilena what it means to serve in a castle of Ryokudo while Ilena continues to reveal secrets to them that are on not just on a regional scale but an international scale. They have to keep her alive for the second time as she goes through an experimental surgery that they hope will give her back her capacity to walk and ride the horses she loves.

Chronicles of Tarc is a journey of adventure, love, and hope in a future when a past has been difficult and bleak. Through effort and perseverance, dreams can come true and "happily ever after" is more than three words when it's walked hand in hand with a true partner and companion. In Husband and Wife, as Ore and Ilena learn what it is to move from partners to husband and wife, Ilena works hard to help Mizi become the princess she needs to be to be able to stand next to Prince Rei as his wife, though they fight against all the court of Suiran. Can the woman born as a commoner win the role of Princess for herself? What happens when Rei's older brother, King Sasou, comes into the picture?

Prince Rei Touka, Regent of Suiran, begins his initiative against the Lord of Tarc by sending Ore into Tarc to prove he understands the Laws of Tarc and has the right to be a Clan Head. Ilena sends Petroi and Thayne as her Seconds so that her clans can also be tested according to Tarc tradition and Law. It's the beginning of removing the empire-hungry Lord of Tarc, who has already moved against Suiran, Ryokudo. In the end, Tarc as a whole will have to pay the price of his pride and greed. Can Rei with Ore and Ilena's help keep it as peaceful a war as possible? Rei left Mizi in Nijou to keep her protected during the war activities. Mizi stands alone, a new and unpracticed Princess. Can she hold out against the lord and ministers who resent that the one common born royal female was left to preside in the castle?

The end of Year 545 is very full and busy for the royal couples. Recovery from the progress and their time in Tarc is brief. Solidifying his power and right to the Regent's throne is paramount for Rei. He's more than ready to show Nijou who their liege is now that he understands the court and landed lords of the Region. Ilena and Ore prepare themselves to be thrown into more work than they've ever had to do before. Sasou is on his way to create the new Grand Duchy of Tarc, and they're the top candidates for Grand Duke and Grand Duchess. Rei is only waiting for that court to turn their Department into a Ministry, further upgrading their titles and responsibilities. And then Ore learns that the nightwalkers of the region have already named him the Suiran Nightwalker King. Don't nightwalkers hate nobles? Cleaning up Nijoushi's nightwalkers gets added to their 'to do' list, making enjoying running the roofs hard, when it's all Ilena's been looking forward to this whole time. Mizi is at loose ends until after the interim investiture when Ilena surprises them all with a kingdom security meeting before Sasou can get away. Her hints that war isn't over become reality as the younger royals confront the older ones and make them talk openly about things hidden until now. From that, Mizi gains her next goal: building a hospital outside Nijoushi in case war brings greater casualties than they want to see. Her common obliviousness gets her into some trouble though. Her household needs her attention, ...and perhaps some editing.

Ore has taken the Lord of Tarc and his clan. Prince Rei Touka, Regent of Suiran, has taken Tarc. Now the royals of Suiran, Ryokudo, must reset the Law of Tarc without angering those of the clans who have been willing to be peaceful about the Change. Can Mizi and Ilena help the Tarc as a whole see women as anything other than property to own? Will the "princes" of Tarc humbly submit, or will they make their people rise up against them when the Marluk'nak' of Change is over?
