Elemental Logic is a tetralogy written by American fantasy author Laurie J. Marks. Arguably an example of Low Fantasy, the series is set in the land of Shaftal, whose citizens are left without a spiritual leader after Harald G'deon, earth witch of the ruling House of Lilterwess, dies, apparently without vesting a successor with his power. Without a G'deon, and with the House of Lilterwess toppled in a single night, Shaftal is left at the mercy of the invading Sainnites, descending into poverty and a state of constant guerrilla warfare. Books in the series include:

  • Elemental Logic is a tetralogy written by American fantasy author Laurie J. Marks. Arguably an example of Low Fantasy, the series is set in the land of Shaftal, whose citizens are left without a spiritual leader after Harald G'deon, earth witch of the ruling House of Lilterwess, dies, apparently without vesting a successor with his power. Without a G'deon, and with the House of Lilterwess toppled in a single night, Shaftal is left at the mercy of the invading Sainnites, descending into poverty and a state of constant guerrilla warfare. The central players include Zanja na'Tarwein, a tribal warrior woman whose clan was destroyed by the Sainnites; Karis, a half-giant metalsmith who possesses powerful healing abilities but has long been addicted to a drug that slowly but surely kills its users; and Emil Paladin, a scholar who finds himself leader of a company of Shaftali rebels. A fine character-driven fantasy series that definitely Needs More Love, Elemental Logic is particularly notable for its prominent LGBT themes (the first two novels both won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award) and its presentation of a fantasy setting in which men and women are equally likely to be farmers or soldiers, healers or craftsmen. Books in the series include: 1. * Fire Logic (2002) 2. * Earth Logic (2004) 3. * Water Logic (2007) 4. * Air Logic (forthcoming)
