Name Game

[Laurel]

I saw this game being played on a wonderful novella group's site and thought it would suit the aficionados!

You create a title for a book by an author, using words from real books they've written, then post it. For example:

Blood Moon Borne

The game is for the other readers to not only guess the author, (Patricia Briggs), but they must also post the books your title came from.

Blood Bound
Moon Called
Silver Borne

Once you've solved the riddle, you can post one of your own!
