The first book is called "The Door into Fire" and came out at least
four years ago.  I thought that it was quite good, particularly for a
first novel.  The world that she describes has one of the more
interesting moral/social structures that I've heard of.  I think the
"Tales of the Five" doesn't mean that there are five books, but that
there are five major characters (although I can only think of four at
the moment).
