She leaves her house in the care of the troll living in her basement and goes off in search of peace and quiet, what she finds is anything but. She meets a very ugly ruler, his hunky son, apriestess who flies, and a stable hand full of knowledge that may not be exactly what he seems. The cast of supporting characters makes this story a hit. Since this is the first of a series I can't wait to see what Claire and her band of barbarians are up to next This may be one of the most unique book titles I have ever run across. What is Tarbaby? You'll just have to read it and see --Nancy Eriksen, Paranormal Romance
