Christie Meierz

She was a teacher, not a spy.
High school Spanish teacher Marianne Woolsey is happy with her life, until Earth Central Command forces her to sign up for a 26 year assignment light-years from Earth. In spite of herself, from the moment she meets her new employer’s infant daughter, she is all in, professionally and personally.

Practiced and deadly, the Sural has ruled Tolar for centuries. When he requests a tutor from Earth for his daughter and heir, Central Command sends him someone much more intriguing than the passive spy he expected. But this human woman clearly has secrets of her own, buried deep in her past, and even an empath like the Sural cannot be entirely sure of her motives.

On Tolar, espionage comes with a death sentence, and Marianne’s growing attraction for her employer might just get her killed. Can she trust this powerful ruler with her heart?

The Marann is the award-winning first book in the Tales of Tolari Space science fiction series. If you like planetary adventure and heart-warming romance, you’ll love Christie Meierz’ tales of the reclusive Tolari.

Tales of Tolari Space

The Marann

Marianne Woolsey is falling apart.

The only human on Tolar, linked empathically to their ruler, her life is a bed of roses—but roses have thorns. Marianne must struggle with a bond-partner who can’t be tamed and a home world plotting to get her back by force if necessary, and she would give anything for a quiet cup of tea with a friend.

Laura Howard watched her husband die when Earth tried to control Tolar, and now her only sanctuary may be the stronghold of the Tolari ruler who killed him. The widow of an Earth Fleet admiral would die before she allowed Earth’s government to use her as bait to harm Marianne, but Central Command may not give her that choice.

Can Tolar keep either of them safe when Earth is prepared for war?

Angry, frightened, and impulsive, she rejects the Tolari ruler who loves the woman she was before the fall, vowing to live free on Tolar and master the empathic gifts that came with the Jorann's blessing.

The Paran gained Laura’s love once. But the woman before him now is vastly different and determined to have nothing to do with him, even though they are both in grave danger. To save their lives, he may have to choose the one path he never wanted: to fight for the leadership of Tolar’s ruling caste.

Farryn had failed. Failed, and lost his honor.

His planet had shunned space travel for thousands of years, and he had sworn to shake his people loose from their isolation. Now in exile in the human colonies, he thirsts for revenge against his homeworld, and on the woman who had given his secrets to his enemies.

Sharana—scholar, political analyst, and empathic sensitive—dares to follow her estranged lover into human space, desperate to find out what had become of him, determined to convince him that she had never betrayed his trust. Unfortunately, Earth’s security teams are watching.

When she falls into their hands, Farryn decides to break her out of prison so he can kill her himself. But a brief encounter in her cell restores the empathic bond they had once shared, and Farryn realizes he must either rescue her for real, or lose his sanity.
