Dragonfly & The Glass Swallow
Dragonfly
Princess Taoshira is appalled when she is ordered to marry Prince Ramil ac Burinholt in order to unite their lands. And Ramil's not too pleased either. They hate each other on sight.
So when she and Ramil are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape - either from their kidnappers or from each other.
Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing and imprisonment? And will the people they meet on their extraordinary adventure - including a circus strongman, a daring rebel leader, a sinister master of spies and the best female fighter they have ever seen - help them or betray them to the enemy..?

The Glass Swallow
Rain
She designs exquisite stained glass for the windows of her city. But the law is clear — it is forbidden for girls to be part of the glassmaker's guild. To keep her secret hidden, she leaves home and travels to the strange new country of Magharna.
Peri
When he witnesses Rain's capture by a gang of bandits, both his fate and his heart becomes tied to hers. They escape the outlaws, but Peri and his family of falconers are untouchables who are scorned by all, and Rain is not allowed to be part of their lives.
Can Rain and Peri's love survive the prejudices against them? And with the city on the brink of disaster will they be able to stop their world from smashing apart?

Dragonfly is the best book ever,I've read it at least 10 times. I need to Know what happens next or I will go crazy!!!I have already started making up my own sequel please hurry! p.s who is the woman on the cover, Its not Yelena, becouse she has brown hair and Tashi did'nt use a sword.(And are Yelena and Melletin married?) (Look more closely and you'll see it isn't a sword... Yes, by the end. J)

Wow... this book is amazing. How did you come up with names like Taoshira and Ramil? (They just felt right. J)
Ellen O'Donnell wrote on 19 August 2008:
Dragonfly was written beautifully. there was so much depth in the story. It wasn't just about two royal people forced into marriage, it was so much more. The characters were amazing, even though they only existed on paper, it felt like they were real. I didn't want to finish it in the fear that it would be over so I ask if you could write a sequel to this master piece. It opens people's eyes to the real world, the deadly world, and how people do so much for their God's, and their love for one another, how Tashi, though not responsible, was willing to become a servant to her Goddess because of another's fault really showed that even though she was not Taoshira anymore, she still loved her Goddess more than anything and would rather die than doubt her belief in her. The love that Tashi and Ramil had for eachother was unbreakable, stronger than any diamond could ever be, and they promised they would always be together, in life or death. Love may not always be at first sight, but stays till the very last.

Loved this book! Maybe not quite as good at the start - a little bit hard to get into - but after the first quarter of the book it became impossible to put down! Like the Cat Royal and Darcie Lock books, this is another book to put in my 'favourites' list! I hope you will write a sequel; you know it will be appreciated, at least! Dragonfly is great; a fabby-dabby mix of romance and adventure. I have reviewed your brilliant book on my site; www.dragonflybookreviews.blogspot.com/ Check it out! Thanks, Sara L

You definately need to write a sequel because that was totally awesome! I lazed around the house reading it all in one day- yesterday. This book was fantastic to read and i am going to buy more of your books! the characters were extraordinary in their travels, i would totally buy the sequel because you can't let so many fans down.

You should REALLY make a sequel. The map at the front sets it up somewhat.... The "KNOWN" world.... hint... hint.... It's your decision anyway, but please! Liz. (I drew the map - do you like it? Julia)
