Windmaster Legacy by Helen B. Henderson
Newly handfasted to the dark-haired archmage Lord Dal, Ellspeth and her husband escort his mother to her ancestral lands. When Dal is lured away by the rogue mage, Bashim, mercenaries severely wound Dal’s mother and capture Ellspeth. Her sole hope for escape is Nobyn, an untrained wizard going through the throes of awakening magic. However, Nobyn is Bashim’s apprentice and under the mage’s total control.
Dal must make an impossible decision whether to rescue his wife, cure his mother, or thwart Bashim’s plans. As archmage, Dal might be able to survive killing the future of magic, but as a man could he live with the knowledge he caused the death of a loved one.
At the Kingdoms’ Fold by Therese Caruana
A furious King crusades across land and sea, seeking the Queen he was promised after she escaped him.

Meanwhile, a woman who is unaware of her importance, dwells in the kingdoms’ fold. Torn out of her nurse’s arms as a child, she was told to learn all she could about the seventh daughter’s seventh daughter and the Three Ring Ritual necessary to channel the blessing and an enormous power source from Virun.
In the pivotal time and in the greatest hour to behold,
the seventh daughter’s seventh daughter will unfold.*This book contains sexual content.
