Redinal "Red" Hu had been given a simple message to deliver. 'If you care for her, stop seeing her.'

A message that could be considered either wise advice, or a dark warning. Considering that it was delivered to the young scion of one of the wealthy Great Houses of the Commonwealth of Lorria, it was probably both. Especially when, with only a little investigation, Hu discovers that the "her" in the message is the future Head of the House of a bitter rival.

Alas, young love.

Young love between the contending Great Houses had always been a daring and dangerous thing. But never more so than during the ruthless secret struggles between the Great Houses that ruled Lorria which soon led to the Humanist Manifesto and the Second Founding.

The Darval-Mers Dossier is a mystery story set in the world of Chateau Clare and Glencrow Summer, some fifteen hundred years prior to those stories, which is to say, in the era when the advanced technology of the First Founding was fast failing, and a new course of society had yet to be decided on.

It is written as if it was the prequel novel to a series of fictional novels of intrigue known as the Red Wine Agency books which played a role inthe novel Chateau Clare. The Darval-Mers Dossier is the story of how Redinal Hu, an ex-attorney, now majordomo of one of the Great Houses of Lorria - with a sideline gig of taking on odd assignments for his old law firm - becomes Red Wine, a gentleman for hire, serving the Great Houses in their secret struggle to shape the future of the Commonwealth.

C. Litka spins tales of adventure, mystery, and travel set in richly imagined worlds. In The Darval-Mers Dossier he has a written mystery story with his usual cast of colorful, fully realized characters. If you seek to escape your everyday life, you'll find no better company, nor more wonderful worlds to explore, than in the stories of C. Litka.
