By Sword, Tale, or Magic

Three Fantasy Novels Fire and Earth (Epic Fantasy) Just when her country is threatened by an invading army, seventeen-year-old Casora loses her battle against the berserker curse. Now she's exiled and unable to help protect her home and family unless she can find some way to tame the berserker. Her desperate search for a cure leads her to Tiaran, a scholar-prince who needs her help to defend his own land against the invaders and who just might be the answer to her prayers. The Bard's Gift (Historical Fantasy) Astrid is too shy to even talk to the boy she likes, so naturally she's the one the Norse gods choose for the bard's gift--the ability to tell the right story at the right time. Turns out, her new talent is the key to escaping starvation in medieval Greenland and finding a better future in the New World. When rebels anger the very dragon-like guardian of their new home, stories are all Astrid has to prevent a power grab that could ruin their chances to settle in this bountiful new land. Daughter of the Disgraced King (Fantasy Romance) In Ailsa's world, magic and political power are kept strictly separated. Her father abdicated his throne in order to marry a mage. Now Ailsa is caught between becoming a mage herself, or marrying her best friend--the crown prince. Can her magic help her heal the wounds caused by the conflict between magic and power?
