Pft... did anyone REALLY expect Jon and Alanna to be a permanent couple? I mean given how often they butt heads on issues? and the fact that Alanna would have to be QUEEN if she married him. No more adventuring for you.

I am one. I read the Circle Opens quartet and they are all awesome. I also read the previous quartet too. Unfortunately, I can't find physical copies still being sold. I wanted them badly. I read them on e-books in Tuebl. Edit to add I forgot there's also Battle Magic where Evvie with Rosethorn were sent to an island to check on plants dying. What group of books is that part of?
Thread: Any Tamora Pierce Fans Here?

I think Battle Magic is it's own book. People expressed interest after Will of the Empress in what Briar's experiences in Yanjing were. All of her books are listed here on her site If you want hard copies you could try Amazon.com or Amazon.ca if you are in Canada like me. Most bookstores would likely order them for you, I don't think they are out of print... I am not sure how you would check that. There use to be a place on the site where it listed up coming projects but I can't seem to find that now. Also the one with Evvie and Rosethorn checking out the dying plants was Melting Stones I believe. Battle magic takes place in the Yanjing Empire

I also am a HUGE fan of hers. I love her Tortall books. I confess though, I never really got into the circle of magic stuff. Im trying to collect all the Song of the Lioness, and Protector of the Small books now. The only ones I managed to buy were the Beka Cooper ones as I started trying to collect them around that time. And my favorite pairing would be Rosto the Piper and Beka, though I dont think they ever got together, I cant remember

Thank you for all the information! blush Also yes, Melting Stones is the one about the dying plants. Its events are those after Battle Magic. I was supposed to mention both books and ended up mixing those books as one.

I've read everything listed. I liked them! Some more than others. Protector of the Small all the way! I started with the circle of magic books and figured I'd check the rest out.
Thread: Any Tamora Pierce Fans Here?

Protector of the Small is definitely one of my faves. I also really enjoyed Becka Cooper because it was pretty different, not only a Provosts Guard but also in the past of Tortall compared to when Alanna and the were around. It was interesting to see how 'police' work was done.

With his injuries the they were he didn't have much of a choice all things considered. Shivering slightly as the damp towel fell across his head he'd shift his attention elsewhere as a new voice reached his ears. Too focused on the human he hadn't noticed the Pokegirl, a Milotic if memory served. Frowning slightly at her question, he'd feel himself hesitating. He probably should've assumed that they just wouldn't leave him for dead. He knew the Houndoom as one not to take chances, and none the less they had to recover the stone anyways. He could only hope that they were quick in their escape. If they left even the slightest trail then the Lucario had no doubt that Team Rocker would find them sooner or later. They were nothing if not persistent. The woman was able to put together the rest of the pieces, and even in his weakness a faint trace of surprise would cross the Pokeboy's face. Very perceptive. Then again probably should've expected that she'd figure it out. Team Rocket weren't a bunch of no-names. He'd been given an intimate look at the sort of equipment they packed, the sort of people they had under their command. Subtly was not their strong suit he'd realized at an early age. If a Pokemon turned up beaten and battered there was probably a decent chance that they were behind it.

They don't make a habit of dressing the wounds of their captives. At least, not to this extent. The lack of a uniform was pretty telltale as well. Silence would follow as the woman continued to dress his wounds, her touch surprisingly gentle. He'd seen his fair of humans at the Rocket facility, but none so gentle. He doubted this was simple charity however. Why would they go to the trouble of fishing him out of a river? Why would they risk the ire of Team Rocket? Something told the Lucario that something else was going on here, though he didn't yet know what exactly. Gym leader, tell me something. He opened his eyes, looking at Riven head-on. Why are you doing this? Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful, but you do realize I have nothing to give you.

Tommen stared at his book, learning about some of the previous wars that had happened across the Seven Kingdoms. The book detailed the sides, their leaders, their strategies, and the victor. Every page was filled with gory details of people that died in the most gruesome ways. For most 15 year old boys, this would be the best thing ever. For Tommen though, this was barely anything. Growing up was never a problem for Tommen Baratheon. His family was one of the most wealthy in Westeros, so he usually got what he wanted. At least, anything he could buy with gold. When it came to everything else, his brother Joffrey would get it. Joffrey was Tommen's older brother, and King of Westeros. Even growing up, Joffrey had gotten everything. He got the most attention from their mother and uncle. He would get first pick when it came to toys, to tutors, and even the people they hung out with, it wasn't fair. And since he was older, Tommen also got the title of King, and the beautiful wife to go with it. And all Tommen got was a seat on the sidelines. The boy was too distracted by his thoughts to notice the door open behind him, bringing in a visitor.

Are you crazy! Said the future Queen. Keep your voice down! The grandmother of Margaery ushered in a whisper with a stern look. No one will suspect a thing, it will fall to whoever the poor bastard is who gives him his drink. It is murder! Stopping her in her tracks, the old lady held her granddaughter's wrists. Falling silent as a guard walked past, she began to talk. If you think I am letting that boy marry you and do awful things to you then you do not know me. Linking their arms, they moved on, walking in the garden's of King's Landing. Now, you must do something, you have to assert your stance here, so you will go to Tommen. That's why you wanted to talk to me isn't it. Margaery knew her grandmother fitted in rather well here, to well. ---- The door slowly creaked to Tommen's chamber as Margaery entered. The room was well lit with the window he had opened. Studying, a smart move. She said, seeing the book open. But don't believe everything you read, King's and Queen's will always bend the stories to suit them and make them look powerful. Walking closer, she was standing in the middle of the room , her hands by her sides. Will you ever do that? When you tell people your stories?

The boy jumped as he heard a voice, knocking him out of his thoughts of hate and jealousy, only to find the woman he was jealous of Joffrey for. Margaery Tyrell, arguably the most beautiful woman in Kings Landing, stood in his room. It took a moment to realise that she had spoken to him and she was waiting for a reply, and he blushed lightly when he realised his error. He didn't apologise though, hoping that his silence was not noticed. Uh.. Stories? What makes you think I'll have stories to tell? He retorted with a small, timid smile. Did she want something? Or was she just here to talk? This was the first he had spoken to Margaery, other than brief hellos in passing. If I do have stories to tell, I'll tell them honestly. Kings and Queens lie to make themselves look more powerful, yet I will not be King for years.. Or possibly ever He said, a slight look of disappointment on his face showed for a brief moment, before disappearing.

You will have stories to tell one day when you are in battle, riding bravely on your horse at the enemy, thinking of the one you love so dear back home. The flag you swear alliance to, the family you plan to protect. You will tell stories Tommen Baratheon. Just up to you how they are told she smiled weakly. Listening to him go on about being King, she was just as devious as her grandmother. Be careful, speaking like that, someone would say you wanted the King dead. Turning around her, she closed the door, her hand planted flat against the wooden surface. Moving back to the center of the room, her hands were in front of her, fingers linking with the other. I know Joffrey isn't the best, but to say you want him dead is treason, you do know that? The woman was playing with his mind. I will not tell, you just want to be King yourself, every man wants to be King. Leaning in, she whispered something in to his ear. I think you would make a great King. Smiling when she pulled back, she turned her back to him, showing her bare flesh above her ass in the dress. Our secret before walking away.

His smile grew as she described him riding into battle, thinking of how amazing such a feeling must be. To fight for your family and your home, and bring honour to yourself. It would be an amazing experience, though he wondered if he would live to tell the tale, let alone spin it in a way that made it seem better for him. The smile faded away as Margaery spoke of him wanting the King dead. He's my brother! I don't want him dead He protested, though he was not quite sure any more. Did what he said imply that he wanted his brother dead, so he could take his place? No.. right? He blushed as he heard her say that she thought he would be a good king, replying with a soft Thank you. His soon to be sister-in-law turned around, giving her a nice view of her butt and the skin revealed just above it, and she walked off. I look forward to the wedding Tommen said, watching as she left, shutting the door behind her. That was odd he said softly to himself.

Joffrey!...Joffrey!! Margaery shouted, seeing his face turn colour, running around the table, past her grandmother, the newly crowned Queen went to his side, holding his head. She didn't get a look in though as Cersei came from nowhere, pushing his wife out of the way so she could cradle him herself as she cried. A few fake tears left Margaery's face, before false anger erupted. Who did this! She shouted, before Tryion, was named by his sister. Later that night, with King's Landing still in shock, Margaery was in the garden's, she knew Tommen often walked in these parts so she laid in waiting. It was to risky to go to his chambers after what had just happened so she wanted to make it seem like their meeting was by chance. To everyone else, Margaery had said she needed some air, it was a welcome escape to from that bitch of a mother in law who tried to say she wasn't Queen. On the day of her son's death no less. Nothing would surprise her about Cersei any more. Hearing a rustling in the bushes, Margaery spun around on the stone bench, looking upset.

Tommen sighed, walking through the gardens all alone. Today was horrible, as he had seen his brother die with his own eyes. He couldn't get that image out of his mind, of Joffrey's face turning purple with his mother and sister-in-law crying over his body. He knew it would be a few nights before he could sleep again. His mind kept going back to the conversation he had with Margaery. She thought he wanted Joffrey dead, and now coincidentally he was dead. She would think it was him! Tommen would go to the cellar and eventually he would be beheaded for treason. It was horrible! Stuck in his own thoughts, he rounded a corner and saw Margaery sitting on a stone bench, upset and alone. Lady Tyrell He greeted softly, approaching her slowly. Would you like to be left alone, or do you want company? The boy asked gently, unsure if she wanted to be upset with no one looking at her, or if she would want someone's shoulder to cry on.

It was him, her plan had worked, not she had to be careful the way she played it out. Maybe react angry? Blame him for their conversation? No, it would scare him away, he was only fifteen. The upset approach would be better. I did come here to be alone, but I can see you are upset to are you not? My grandmother, my dear grandmother always said two upset people half the sad times. She wanted to roll her eyes, her relative's saying drove her crazy but it might work now. Sit down moving over, she picked up her dress, and then placed her hand flat against the space, wanting him to come over. We are alone here, I asked the guards not to follow me. Sometimes I come here and just look up at the stars, wondering what it all means. Why would Joffrey be dead! Falling on to Tommen's chest, she sobbed, a napkin arriving as she placed a hand to her face, the other on his chest. I can't bare it. I know he wasn't a nice person, but I didn't deserve for him to die. I just wanted a good man, a nice man. Crying, she sobbed, eyes closed whilst leaning on the boy.

Tommen nodded slowly when she asked if he were upset. He may not have looked as upset as he should have been though, since it was his brother. His eyes were red as if he had just been crying, but tears were not running down his cheeks at a constant rate like Margaery. Sitting down at Margaery's invitation, he looked at her as she spoke. He was about to reach out to comfort her, when the woman leaned into him, her head and hand on his chest. The feeling was very nice and he smiled for a brief moment, but was glad that Margaery didn't see it. He had never been this close to a woman that wasn't his mother or sister. It's alright He cooed softly, rubbing her back while she cried. He nervously spoke up, knowing he had to say something before she accused him. It wasn't me. The boy said, before following it up. I didn't kill him. You mentioned the other night that you thought I wanted him dead, but I didn't. Someone else did it. He explained. He was horrible at explaining things, and if anything, he sounded more suspicious.

You...you...I remember, I had actually forgotten! Standing up to make herself have more authority she looked down at the boy. You said you wanted to be King! Her face had an anger about it, she saw the worried look on his face as he denied any of it. Exactly what she wanted to see. No..it couldn't of been you. Sitting down next to him again, she took his hand in hers and rested it on her lap. You are a sweet boy, you wouldn't do that, I know. Please forgive me my King. Purposely adding on the last two words. It was your Uncle, Tyrion, he gave him the cup, I did not know for one so small he would be bigger than any of us with his boldness. Looking away, so she was hiding her face she began to cry once more. Then lifting her hand up from her lap with his, she put it on her chest. My heart bleeds in pain my King. His hand against the breast now, only the thin layer of clothing preventing him from touching her skin. I wish I had someone to share my pain with.

Tommen was clearly worried when she began to accuse him, looking angry at him for taking away his husband. His heart was beating fast, and he was bracing himself to run despite the fact that he was innocent. Thankfully, she calmed down and realised that he wouldn't do that as he was a 'sweet boy'. Being called 'my king' was new to him and would take some getting used to. He had to ensure that he didn't let it go to his head like it did with Joffrey. The boy was quiet, like usual. He was always told that if he didn't have anything worth saying, don't say it. He preferred to listen rather than talk, as you could learn a lot from someone from listening to them. There was something.. off, about Margaery and how she spoke, but Tommen could not understand what it was. He was distracted from this when Margaery took his hand, placing it on her breast. His cheeks turned a deep crimson, trying not to close his hand on her breast. You do! You do have someone to share your pain with. I lost a brother too, so I know what you're going through. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'll be here for you He promised her softly, offering a small smile.

Letting go of his hand on her chest, she took it away, smiling at him but not in an eager way. Thank you, I know you share my pain, your mother is very upset to, she needs you. You should go and see her. Rubbing his arm now, she stood up. Slowly walking away, Margaery tried not to push it to far, she had to be subtle. Goodnight she said, wiping her eye, thinking it was a nice touch. The following day, things were different. All meetings and council were cancelled, instead, everyone was talking of trials and replacements. Guards were thought to be at blame just as much as Tyrion who was rotting in a cell. A handmaiden approached the Queen, although that title wasn't sure to last long. Your Grandmother and brother are in the garden's your grace, they wish to speak with you. Thank you making her way down, she joined up with her family.

Tommen nodded at Margaery's suggestion, standing up and feeling disappointed that he was no longer touching her breast. Goodnight He said, watching her walk off before making his way back to the castle. -- When Margaery joined up with Ser Loras and her grandmother, she was sitting down near the gardens while Loras stood nearby. The old lady gently gestured for Margaery to sit opposite her, watching as her granddaughter sat. So how did it go last night with your encounter with Tommen? Did he seem suspicious of you? Lady Olenna asked. She waited for a reply before continuing. Good good.. Now, with Cersei becoming increasingly suspicious of you, you need to ensure that Tommen has all of your trust. Make him like you. He's a fifteen year old boy who's stuck in the castle all day. I doubt he's had much experience with a woman such as yourself. It's common knowledge now that you are betrothed to him now that Joffrey's dead. Show him some of the benefits of marrying you. Olenna said, before adding Don't go too far with it. I don't want you pregnant on your wedding day She smiled. I'm on guard for Tommen's room tonight. There's no chance that your late night meeting with your betrothed will be spoken of to Cersei her brother, Ser Loras promised.

It went well, I didn't push it to far, he seemed worried about how I might think it was him who did it because he wants to be King. I played on that but told him I knew it wasn't him. He isn't suspicious. Stopping now, she listened to her grandmother go on. Telling her how she would now be promised to Tommen after the death of her husband. Interrupted by her brother, she heard how he was on duty tonight. Don't listen in she smiled at him, before turning back to her grandmother. I will talk with him tonight, Cersei probably has already, who knows how she has her claws in to him with all the rumours going around about her brother. The talk wasn't long, but Maragaery stayed for lunch with her family, it was a beautiful day, yet they couldn't act happy in it, no one would because of the death the day before.
