Martha Wells recommends

The Whitefire Crossing (2011)
(Shattered Sigil, book 1)
Courtney Schafer
"A tense adventure fantasy, with magic, intrigue, and engaging characters in a desperate race to cross a deadly mountain range... an exciting original read."

No Return (2013)
(Jeroun, book 1)
Zachary Jernigan
"NO RETURN is a rich, diverse, inventive fantasy, in a style that reminds me in some ways of Tanith Lee's TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH books. Zachary Jernigan has created a stunningly original world and I can't wait to see where he takes it next."

At the Table of Wolves (2017)
(Dark Talents, book 1)
Kay Kenyon
"At the Table of Wolves is a fabulous read. It's got the feel of Foyle's War and the tense mystery plot of a spy thriller. I enjoyed every bit of it."
