[edit] Naked Empire
Chase had taken Rachel back to his home in Westland and started her on her teachings like Zedd had asked Chase to do. He taught her how to use many weapons and how to protect herself.
However, Friedrich Gilder, a former boundary warden himself, came to Chase and told him that Zedd and Adie had been captured and the Wizard's Keep had been taken by the Imperial Order. With Rachel, Chase traveled to the Imperial Order camp and acted as a member of the Order in order to make his way to Zedd and Adie. When he got there, he found the Mord-Sith Rikka and the D'Haran Captain, Zimmer also there to save them. With their help, they all escaped.
However, Zedd had only moments before activated a spell called sunset spell that when the sun set, it would blow up, destroying the other stolen items that the Order had stolen from the Keep. Chase and the others appeared just in time to save them all and rescue them from the camp before the spell came alive and killed them.
Chase and Rachel, along with Rikka, took Zedd back to the Wizard's Keep, where Zedd asked him and Friedrich to become "Keep Wardens", the new guards of the Keep.
[edit] Chainfire
At the beginning of the book, Chase and Rachel set off to get Chase's family and bring them to the Keep to live.
[edit] Phantom
When the witch woman Shota visits the Wizard's Keep, she tells Richard and everyone else that Chase had been hurt. When asked about Rachel, she knew nothing. She had found Chase after he had been run through by the former Seeker, Samuel, who in turn also kidnapped Rachel, but Shota did not know about that. She had taken Chase to some people she knew could help heal him. He eventually recovered.
Rachel was delivered to the witch woman, Six, and the now Queen of Tamarang, Violet. Back to being treated like dirt, Rachel slowly watched for her chance to escape, eventually getting her chance. She was greeted outside of the palace by the now recovered Chase. Afterwards, Chase and Rachel heads on back to the Wizard's Keep.
