Shadow, a light-hearted (and light-fingered) elven thief, returns to her homeland after several centuries' absence only to find that a great human trade city has grown up next to the forest in which she was born. Now the elves and the humans maintain an uneasy alliance, but when Shadow steals a magical bracelet, she finds herself caught in the middle of a plot that may tear the city--and the alliance--apart forever.
Everyone knew the dark legend of the Crystal Keep... Of its endless hallways and infinite doors. Of the all-knowing Oracle hidden within its walls. And of the all-powerful Guardian who challenged those who dared to enter. No one knew for sure what was truth and what was rumor, except that few people went there. And even fewer returned. But Dara knew it was her only hope. So begins a strange and mysterious journey of discovery, a young woman's search for her own special magic-and her own self. Behind every door awaits new worlds of possibility. And deep within every heart lies the greatest secret of all: that strength and courage have a magic all their own.
A deadly plague is sweeping through Allanmere, brought by a stranger whose race vanished long before the humans of Allanmere, or the elves of the forest, came to the land. Now Shadow must lead that stranger and her best friend Donya into the deadly swamp known as the Dim Reaches in search of a cure for the plague hidden among the traces of a race long gone.
Long before Shadow was born, the Heartwood was a land of warring clans of elves. When human lord Sharl comes to build a great city near the forest and abducts Chyrie and her mate, Valann, to gain safe conduct through the forest, the elves learn that an even greater enemy is approaching -- an army of barbarians sweeping down from the north. Now the elves must make peace, not only with each other but with the hated humans, to unite against a threat that may destroy the city and the forest together.
Jaellyn's mixed heritage of elfin and Kresh has given her powerful magic. But her Kresh legacy carries a heavy price: a missing portion of her soul. In a quest to make herself whole, Jaellyn must confront bloodthirsty dragons, bewitched forests, and hideous shape shifters. Accompanied by ex-acolyte and apprentice thief Tanis, Jael sets out into unknown country to find the father who may hold the key to bringing Jael's mixed bloods into harmony. But even if Jael can cross dangerous and unmapped lands, and find a race of people known only in legend, who knows if they can help her, or if they are even willing to try?
Kayli, daughter of the High Lord of Bregond, is torn from her magical studies in the Temple of Inner Flame to make an arranged marriage with Randon, Heir to the throne of Agrond, to bring the two warring countries together. But Randon's charming brother Terralt contests Randon's claim to the throne of Agrond, and attempts on Kayli's life make her question all she has been taught, and whether she can trust Terralt, Randon -- or even herself.
When Clare moves with her mother from London to Ravensmere, an historic English estate, she can't shake the feeling that the residents already know her, especially Mark, a maddeningly attractive biker. Clare also feels compelled to take midnight walks in Ravensmere's abandoned China Garden. Then her mother reveals that their own past is tragically linked to the estate. But when Clare discovers that Ravensmere is in grave danger, will she risk her future-and Mark's-to save it?
Essie would do anything for her kingdom...even marry an elf prince she just met that morning. The human kingdom of Escarland and the elven kingdom of Tarenhiel have existed in an uneasy peace after their last wars ended with both kings dead. As tensions rise once again, desperate diplomacy might be the only way to avert war. If only negotiations between elves and humans were that simple. When a diplomatic meeting goes horribly wrong, Essie, a human princess, finds herself married to the elf prince and warrior Laesornysh. Fitting in to the serene, quiet elf culture might be a little difficult for this talkative princess, but she's determined to make it work. With impending war and tenuous alliances, it will be up to Essie to unite her two peoples. And maybe get her hands on elven conditioner while she's at it.
