2016 historical adventure, last of its trilogy. Margaret Fitzroy's father has reappeared, but some of her enemies are now in high places, and everyone may have been lying to her.
1983 fantasy, second of the very loose Lyra series. Ranira is a bond (more or less indentured) servant in Drinn, which is ruled by the Temple of Chaldon. Then some foreigners take a room at the inn where she works, and everything is turned on its head.
I’ve been doing the Weekly Challenges. The latest involved light parsing and tax bracket calculations. (Note that this ends today.)
