In 1854, Hereswith Rowan looked at the world and thought it could be better. The war in the Crimea was horribly managed, matters at home in Albion were not much better. This series explores her Challenge for Albion’s Council, her romances (plural, into a polyamorous V relationship), and her deep friendships with colleagues and like-minded people over the next three decades.

Claiming the Tower
The book begins shortly after the start of the Crimean War, with increasing mismanagement and needless death mentioned. Both characters deal with issues around limitations due to being female. The death of a character’s (much loved) father during the course of the book. Those who’ve read the Mysterious Fields trilogy (later in their lives) may realise that Hereswith later marries a man, while continuing her relationship with Bess. (That will be a later book in the series.)
