Song in the Silence (Starscape)
2.  Song in the Silence (Starscape) by Elizabeth Kerner

Daughter of the Blood (Black Jewels Trilogy)
5.  Daughter of the Blood (Black Jewels Trilogy) by Anne Bishop
The list author says:
  "There are just no words. Hypnotising, addictive, magical, origonal, with plenty of romance and magic - though it is a fantasy with romance, rather than the other way 'round, which should be noted."
£14.00   Used & New from: £1.29
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (88 customer reviews)

Heir to the Shadows (Black Jewels Trilogy)
6.  Heir to the Shadows (Black Jewels Trilogy) by Anne Bishop

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (74 customer reviews)

Sebastian (Ephemera)
8.  Sebastian (Ephemera) by Anne Bishop
The list author says:
  "The main character is an Incubus, so be prepared for some yummy scenes, but it's also a widely origonal fantasy novel with a save-the-world theme overlying the romance."
£7.99   Used & New from: £0.01
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Belladonna (Ephemera)
9.  Belladonna (Ephemera) by Anne Bishop

Sunshine
14.  Sunshine by Robin Mckinley

The God Eaters
22.  The God Eaters by Jesse Hajicek
