This is his Kingdom series. This series is essentially the entire Bible written as a fantasy. Cool, huh? Kingdom's Reign is the book of Revelation.Kingdom's Dawn Kingdom's Hope Kingdom's Edge Kingdom's Call Kingdom's Quest Kingdom's Reign Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart Sir Bentley and Holbrook Court Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione Mitchell Bonds Hero, Second Class Amanda Bradburn The Keepers of Elenath R. L. Copple Infinite Realities Transforming Realities Gene Curtis Gene's novel is one of the fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm proud to promote. In this fantasy, sword-wielding magi fight for Good.The Seventh Mountain Bryan Davis Bryan is a Christian fantasy novelist with a lot of marketing savvy and energy. His Dragons in Our Midst and Oracles of Fire novels have succeeded largely because of his extensive speaking schedule where he addresses home school groups and local libraries. He's also a skilled craftsman in the craft of fiction. His books are for a youth audience.Raising Dragons The Candlestone Circles Of Seven Tears of a Dragon Eye of the Oracle Enoch's Ghost The Last of the Nephilim The Bones of Makaidos Beyond the Reflection's Edge Eternity's Edge Karina & Robert Fabian Magic, Mensa & Mayhem F. W. Faller Fred's Portals of Tessalindria fantasies didn't get the exposure they deserved. Check them out.A Sword for the Immerland King Lonama's Map L. B. Graham Another novelist writing Christian fantasy for young people. This is his Binding of the Blade series. One striking feature of this series is that the cover illustrations are done by the legendary Larry Elmore, of D&D and TSR fame.Beyond the Summerland Bringer of Storms Shadow in the Deep Father of Dragons Leathel Grody With a name like Leathel the guy's got to be someone to be reckoned with, wouldn't you think? And Leathel certainly is. He's an author, a Web design genius, and a computer game designer. His Web site dedicated to Christian science fiction and fantasy is easily the coolest-looking such site on the Web. And who's ever heard of a Christian MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game)? Well, he's designing one! Check it out. I'm very impressed with Mr. Grody. He's definitely a kindred spirit. Here are his novels, the Foundations of Hope trilogy. Books 1 and 2 are due out in paperback in May 2007. Book 3 is coming soon.Faith of the Unforgotten Into the Darkness Faith of the Unforgotten (Hardcover) Karen Hancock Each of Karen's first four novels won the Christy Award in the visionary category. That's an impressive feat and tells you how good her fantasy is.Arena Light of Eidon The Shadow Within Shadow Over Kiriath Return of the Guardian-King Bill Hand The Oneprince Robin Hardy The first three below constitute The Annals of Lystra, with the following three being The Latter Annals of Lystra.Chataine's Guardian Stone of Help Liberation of Lystra Nicole of Prie Mer Ares of Westford Prisoners of Hope Sharon Hinck Sharon has published some fun (and even a little speculative) chick-lit fiction with Bethany House. But her first love is Christian fantasy. With no contracts and only the love of her stories burning in her, she wrote the entire manuscripts for her Restorer trilogy.The Restorer The Restorer's Son The Restorer's Journey Caprice Hokstad Caprice's fantasy novel has just been reissued by our friends at Splashdown books.The Duke's Handmaid Nor Iron Bars a Cage Christopher Hopper Christopher was one of the Fantasy Four authors that made their book tour in summer 2007. These novels comprise his White Lion Chronicles.Rise of the Dibor The Lion Vrie Robert Don Hughes The Prophet of Lamath The Wizard in Waiting The Power and the Prophet The Forging of the Dragon The Faithful Traitor L. A. Kelly L. A. "Leisha" Kelly is the author of some Depression-era historical fiction, but this series is inspirational fantasy.Tahn Return to Alastair The Scarlet Trefoil Russell Kirkpatrick Russell is an an interesting guy. He's a professional mapmaker (which comes out in his world-building) and a New Zealander, to boot. This series, "The Fire of Heaven" trilogy, was originally released in Australia/NZ but has now come to the U.S. I've been told he's a Christian author and these are Christian novels. They look fun.Across the Face of the World In the Earth Abides the Flame The Right Hand of God Shawn Lamb Allon: Book 1 Stephen Lawhead It would be easy to argue that Stephen Lawhead ought to be placed in the category of industry-shaping giants of Christian speculative fiction. His Pendragon series was among the first I discovered in Christian bookstores. Some of the images from Taliesin—the bull leaping, for instance—stick in my mind to this day. Stephen has moved on to mostly secular publishing now, as this is where he's found a larger audience. But his origins are with us and he has still provided some of the most wonderful Christian fantasy of the modern era. His novel Byzantium, though technically a historical and not speculative, is still the finest Christian novel I've ever read.In the Hall of the Dragon King The Warlords of Nin The Sword and the Flame Taliesin Merlin Arthur Pendragon Grail The Paradise War The Silver Hand Endless Knot Byzantium The Iron Lance The Black Rood The Mystic Rose Patrick Hood Avalon: The Return of King Arthur Scarlet Richard Leonard Heart of the Highriders Bryan M. Litfin The Sword Carole McDonnell Carole's fantasy novel is one I looked at while acquisitions editor at Realms and NavPress. Excellent writing and bold vision, and by an African-American woman author, to boot! This novel is being published by a secular publisher but it's Christian through and through. Check it out.Wind Follower Maureen Doyle McQuerry Maureen's YA fiction is fun because it takes its imagery and themes from fairy tales. Not the Disney kind, but the original Grimm's kind, or the kind from Celtic mythology, in which there really are monsters and in which singing princesses get quickly eaten. The title of the first novel, for instance, comes from the story of the three little pigs.Wolfproof Travelers Market Calvin Miller Calvin Miller is best known for his Singer trilogy of poetry, which every Christian should read. But he has also produced a fantasy trilogy called The Singreale Chronicles. Though mainly for a youth audience it is still an interesting read for adults. And he is coming out with a new series from B&H: The Kinta Chronicles.Guardians of the Singreale Star Riders of Ren War of the Moonrhymes The Dogs of Snoqualmie Blindsided Kathleen Morgan Kathleen is the author of the Guardians of Gadiel series, the second of which is currently in publishing limbo.Giver of Roses R. K. Mortensen The Landon Snow novels are an exciting new series for young readers (ages 9–12). The awesome covers are done by none other than Kirk DouPonce of Dog-Eared Design, who designed the graphical look of WhereTheMapEnds.Landon Snow and the Auctor's Riddle Landon Snow and the Shadows of Malus Quidam Landon Snow and the Island of Arcanum Landon Snow and the Volucer Dragon Landon Snow and the Auctor's Kingdom David Murray David is a talented illustrator and author. Check out his Web page to see the awesome animated intro for the book. This novel is targeted to young readers.Majesty Jeffrey Overstreet Auralia's Color's Cyndere's Midnight Miles Owens It was my great pleasure to bring Miles to the reading public. I "discovered" his fantasy fiction while I was at Realms. Daughter of Prophecy became one of the four novels (and the only fantasy) that we launched Realms with. It was also my pleasure to be his editor. I have, hanging on my wall in my home office, an oversize poster of the original Cliff Nielsen illustration we commissioned for Daughter of Prophecy. Miles remains one of my favorite Christian fantasy authors.Daughter of Prophecy Ronald G. Patterson Ron's Ballad of Penumbria series is a historically rooted fantasy retelling of the story of the church from Christ's first advent and on through to the Millennial Kingdom.A King's Ransom Donita K. Paul Donita's cover for DragonSpell was the first cover I'd ever seen that told me someone in the publishing industry might actually get Christian fantasy. Donita's books are for a youth audience.DragonSpell DragonQuest DragonKnight DragonFire DragonLight The Vanishing Sculptor George Bryan Polivka The Trophy Chase Trilogy is new fantasy with a seafaring theme, from Harvest House.The Battle for Vast Dominion The Legend of the Firefish The Hand that Bears the Sword Jonathan Rogers Jonathan is another author writing youth/young adult Christian fantasy.
