Elizabeth C Bunce recommends

The Forgotten Lore (2026)
(Ellen Poe, book 1)
Diana Peterfreund
"A smashing read! Diana Peterfreund knows her Poe, and her love for the subject ripples through every page. Ellen and Gus (and their marvelously maudlin ghost) are a winning team of sleuths, and this smart, fast-paced tale leads readers into an enticing warren of historical mysteries. Sure to delight both the casually Poe-curious and the truly Poe-sessed."

Peaceweaver (2012)
(Coming of the Dragon, book 2)
Rebecca Barnhouse
"Peaceweaver is splendid historical fantasy. Barnhouse's sure-footed prose and intricate world building deftly evoke a time of ancient magics, perilous journeys, and thrilling tales spun by firelight. Highly recommended."
