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?

Okay, I loved dragonfly when it came out(although I am probably getting a bit too old for those books) I really wanted to buy The glass swallow but I swear NO BOOK STORE in London has it! Why is that?? :(
I don't know - I've seen it in bookshops where I live (oxford). You can always get it online at Amazon etc of course or ask the nearest shop to get it in for you (shouldn't take long). Julia

I just want to say the library is sending me hatemail because of how long I have had Dragonfly, but I'll deal because it is one of the best books I have ever read. When I'm not reading it, my mind is occupied in Ram and Tashi's world. I want to thank you for such an amazing book!
You must try Glass Swallow next! J

I have read nearly all of your books and I have just finished reading The Glass Swallow! I loved the romance in it and at the end when it mentioned Ramil and Tashi I screamed so loud that my parents came running up the stairs! I think it was a brilliant idea to bring them back because I missed them soooo much! Also I'm glad to hear that they have a child (children?) now! Love and peace Emmi
Please send my apologies to your parents for giving them a scare! julia

The Glass Swallow was fantastic - it was so interesting to read a story that half carried on Dragonfly, and half was a completely different story! Also, the characters were really brilliant - they were all so clear in my minds' eye!

just finished the glass swallow. dont get me wrong its a great book, but i cant help wondering what happend to everyone in dragonfly. what has happend in gerfal, brigard and the other lands? what happend to gordoc and the professor and everyone else? do tashi and ram have lots of children like he wanted?
You can tell some of the answers from the book if you read carefully. But it is not a continuation of Dragonfly, but a new development with new characters. All these places are doing well under Ram and Tashi so there's no story in that. J

I honestly can't say more than you and Lori Wick are my favourite authors of all time. I can't believe the beauty of your stories. Thank you so much for giving the world something amazing to read.
