These are tours of inspection which visit each of the Empire's many 'castles', with the Marshals exercising powers of life and death delegated by the Emperor. Each Marshal is accompanied by an Inquisitor who provides support by auditing and inspecting the administration in each castle.
Tommy is the most experienced of the Marshals and is disturbed to find that for his latest Progress he has been assigned a newly-appointed Inquisitor, the youngest ever.

Tales of Cambria Book 1: Call of the Dragon
Cassian Summer has been running from his past for years. Avoiding police and yet another foster home, Cassian takes a chance when he discovers an amulet that transports him to a twisted version of the past. After all getting indoctrinated into a magical cult can't be that bad, can it? It's not as though they're lunatics who will eventually hunt him and his new friends for sport. (Yes, dear reader, it's definitely that bad). Set in the same fiction universe as the Last Knights of Cambria series. Similar narrative style and dark humor as the Percy Jackson series, with similar violence levels as the Hunger Games. Ahem. Dead people live. Living people die. Dragons are here. Edmund Crouchback is the antagonist and you're going to love him immediately. Backstabbing. Drama. Battles. You may learn like one thing about 1200s england but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Edward the Second is a cinnamon roll. Every character is some version of a bisexual disaster. You really have to be here. Trigger/Content Warning: The above pretty much says it. YA but Hunger Games level violence and peril, some disturbing scenes (all are obvious when they are coming). The main character has a traumatic past involving family violence). Some profanity, and child peril (think Stranger Things level horror). Characters kiss briefly, otherwise no sexuality.Complete
