The Council Mysteries follow Hereswith Rowan from her life before the Council through her time as Head of the Council. Life, romance, drinking chocolates, love of the land, the delicate dance of diplomacy and politics.... Three books are planned. Claiming the Tower is Hereswith's romance with Bess in 1854. The second will be about Hereswith's romance with Galahad (eventually her husband) and the shifts in their household. A third book in the 1870s is not a romance but will spend some time with Metaia and Owain Powell, cousins seen in the Mysterious Fields trilogy.
