The ninth novel in Jacqueline Carey's D'Angeline series, Naamah's Blessing, is set over a century after the events of the incredible trilogy that began with Kushiel's Dart. Her alternate history Europe has entered the early Renaissance period, and our supernatural heroine Moirin — half-Maghuin-Dhonn druid, half-D'Angeline sex priestess — has already journeyed all across Asia. In this final book of the Moirin trilogy, Carey sends her impossibly beautiful and magically nice heroine to Terra Nova to meet the Aztecs, Inca, and an old enemy from her youth. More »

If you like alternate history, alternate sexuality, and crazy international intrigue, you won't be able to resist Kushiel's Mercy. In bookstores this month, it's the final adventure in Jacqueline Carey's bestselling, six-novel Kushiel cycle set on a medieval Earth where Christianity never took hold. While the first three novels detailed the adventures of Phedre, a prostitute/spy with the superpower of erotic masochism — you'd be surprised how handy this is as a superpower! — the second three focus on her adoptive son Imriel. At last, in his third and final novel, Imriel is coming into his own. I had nearly given up on the series, despite adoring the Phedre novels, but Kushiel's Mercy was a return to form for Carey.
