The Fallen Elves Series

Tanelith only knows the ruins of one of the crashed cities. Myths say that the gods used to live there, floating in palaces far above the ground.   The other races—like the Dwarves and the Humans—blame Tanelith people, the Elves, for the ancient war, for how far the rest of them have fallen.   And artifacts still hide among the broken walls and buildings. Miracles and mysteries.   When slavers drag Tanelith to the Human lands, to witness the hatred that causes people to treat her kind like animals, she must escape.   But can the past save the Elves from the hatred of the other races? Can the future?   Ruins of the Gods—the first in a new epic dark fantasy series— follows Tanelith as she struggles to find her place in the world. And the gods that abandoned and betrayed them all.   Be sure to read the rest of the books in this finished series!

Everyone knows that the cities of the gods had fallen. Tanelith has grown up among the ruins of one such city and visited to another.   However, after escaping from the slavers, visiting the Tree People as well as other cities of her own people, the Elves, she believes that at least one city still flies far above them.   Can she find it?   And once she's there, can she convince those mythical, lost people to help those in the world below?   Stairs of the Gods—the second book in a truly epic dark fantasy series—follows Tanelith as she travels to the edges of the known world, searching for a way up.   Be sure to read the rest of the books in this finished series!

Tanelith lives her greatest dream: to rise up to one of the cities of the gods, to walk the streets of her ancestors, to see her people rightfully proud and living in beauty.   But the beautiful murals hide terrible secrets. As do the elders who rule the place.   Will they help those Tanelith has left, on the ground below?   And what will be their price?   Cities of the Gods—the third book in this epic dark fantasy series—follows Tanelith through gilded halls and magical landscapes, still seeking solace for her people.   Be sure to read the rest of the books in this finished series!

The last flying city totters on the edge of death, of falling gracelessly to the earth and becoming its own ruin.   The dwarves use one of the lost, god-killing weapons from the War of Betrayal, devastating the elves who have come to help Tanelith in her quest to free her people from slavery.   The humans also gather to destroy Tanelith and her dreams.   Can she find the allies, and more importantly, the magic, necessary to beat back all of her adversaries?   Graves of the Gods—the final book in this epic dark fantasy series—follows Tanelith through dark and abandoned places, both in the world as well as in her soul.   Be sure to pick up the earlier books in this completed series!
