4-6Grassland Trilogy series.
The escaped children of Grassland want to settle down in happy couples, but they're instead captured and sent off to deal with the Spears. In order to keep his beloved Pippa safe, narrator Coriko becomes what he hates. Coriko's voice is so compelling that even when the story is too slowly paced (as it often is), readers will keep turning pages.
