Titus Groan (Gormenghast trilogy)
3.  Titus Groan (Gormenghast trilogy) by Mervyn Peake

5.  Transformation: Book One of the Rai-Kirah (Rai-Kirah S.) by Carol Berg

Daughter of the Empire
8.  Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Conqueror's Pride
9.  Conqueror's Pride by Timothy Zahn
