I just want to recommend 'Mark of the Raven' by Morgan L. Busse. I was given it as a Christmas present
(thanks turin!) and enjoyed it, though admittedly it would be nice to read the other two in the trilogy (it's the first one). Briefly put, it's about the heir to one of seven Great Houses, Lady Selene Ravenwood. Each house was given a gift - Ravenwood were the Dreamers, Vivek is Wisdom I think, Maris controls water, Friere fire, Luceras light, and others I can't remember. Ravenwood was almost wiped out by the Dominician Empire a long while ago, so everyone believes its gift to be gone, but it isn't. Consequently, they have become a dark, twisted house. Selene's gift comes to her at the start of the book and she discovers it's not all good, since they enter the dreamscapes of others to manipulate them, to find their greatest fear and use it against them. Lady Selene struggles with all this and locking away her heart and feelings from her victims. And more stuff happens....
I cannot recommend the Narnia books enough; they're brilliant.
If you've never heard of them, they are about the great Lion, Aslan, who created the magical land of Narnia. Children from our world are brought to assist Narnia in its darkest times. The main friends of Narnia are Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, who are siblings and royals: High King Peter the Magnificent, Queen Susan the Gentle, King Edmund the Just and Queen Lucy the Valiant. I would advise starting with the first written, 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe', which deals with the Kings and Queens, Aslan, and the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Narnia', Jadis the White Witch. Also Beavers. And Snow. And dwarves. And a faun. And, of course, a lamppost.
If you're a fan of romance, Christian romance (or don't mind the Christian aspects of it), I would advise 'The Healer's Apprentice' by Melanie Dickerson. It is the first book in an eleven-book series 'Hagenheim/Fairy Tale Romance' which is about connected characters (or who end up connected, I'm pretty sure). The books are reworkings of fairy tales. I've only read #1 and #4 (which had rather large spoilers for #3; best read in order) but now own copies of #2, #3 and #5, and am very eager to read them! It's impressive in that you can read a book based on a fairy tale and pick the fairy tale in the first page, yet still enjoy the book as a unique book in itself. A rough synopsis of 'The Healer's Apprentice' would be that:
There's a girl named Rose, the healer's apprentice, who is focused on avoiding matrimony with older men (this is set in ~1300s?) by being the healer's apprentice. She happens to be squeamish around blood. But when Lord Hamlin, son and heir to the Duke of Hagenheim and betrothed since five years old to a girl he's never seen (who is hidden away from the evil Moncore), is gored by a boar and she has to sew up his leg, they get to know each other. Increasingly, their attraction becomes noticeable, but they cannot be together, since he's betrothed. Believing his rascally brother Lord Rupert really cares for her, Lord Hamlin ignores his own longing and encourages the match, but, well, Rupert wasn't exactly looking for marriage. The main focus of the book is the real conflict that Wilhelm (Lord Hamlin) wants to marry Rose but is betrothed to the Lady Salomea Godehard. Also, Moncore is being annoying.
I only meant to recommend one book at this point in time, but the others presented themselves to me as I described, so I recommend them too. All skilfully written.
