New book series by Patricia Briggs, a fantastic author.  The Raven's Duology is about aTraveler, like a gyspy, who gives up her life as a Raven (natural wizard) to marry and raise a family.  The magic in these books is so facinating based on orders which are names after birds. Raven-Mage, Comerant-Weather Witch, Lark-Healer, Falcon-Hunter, and Eagle-Guardian.  Seraph and her family are faced with the shadowed and they must prevail.  Great characters and story. Wonderful books.  I recommend Patricia's books, her Mercy Thompson books are also a wonderful series.
