know what to do. Her father's estate was non-existent, and she had no skills except those

out. But when she arrives, there are no children...only a man in desperate need of help. |

If I Pay Thee Not in Gold with
Piers Anthony. In the Age of Mazonians, women rule through magic-and men suffer what
they must. Magical creations only last for a single day, but this is quite long enough to
quell a would-be rampaging male. But then, as now, some people rise above what
they’have been taught. One such is Xylina; who has always understood that being of
the wrong gender, or even lacking magical power, is no reason for stripping a human being
of dignity. |

The Elvenbane with Andre
Norton. Welcome to a world dominated by a ruthless elven hierarchy. Humans are
magically held in thrall, subject to the whims of their elven overlords. Unknown to the
quarrelling elven princedoms, dragon-mages manipulate and toy with the elves for their own
amusement. But dragons and elves alike begin to see their world and very existence
threatened by an orphaned half-elf outcast who seems to have the power of the Elvenbane,
long foretold by prophecy. |
|
Elvenblood with Andre Norton.
Change is in the wind, and what began with Shana's struggle has spread to become a
rebellion of all the oppressed across the land. If they could rise as one, the elven lords
would be far outnumbered. But even so, none who would fight the lords are able to
withstand their might. Their common cause must find in the elven masters some weakness, an
Achilles heel in the armor of their magical supremacy. When Shana encounters the Iron
People, a tribe of human nomads immune to the magic of elves and half-bloods alike, she
believes that she has finally found the weapon needed to defeat the overlords. Jubilation
is short lived, when they capture her and her companions, using magic chains that no
magic, or dragon can overcome. |
