I recomend Greg Bear's _Songs of Earth and Power_, previously published as
_The Infinity Concerto_ and _The Serpent Mage_. GB is usually assoiated with
"hard" SF, but this is deffinately fantasy... a good read, as are all of
GB's works.
I also agree with the Orson Scott Card fan who enjoyed the first book of his
Homecoming series, _Homecoming: Harmony_, but felt it fell a bit flat in the
second book, _Homecoming: Earth_. I had to drag my way through the second
book and IMHO, he s..t..r..e..c..h..e..d what should have been a much shorter
story into one matching the size of the first book.
