The Blending is a fantasy series by Sharon Green.
There are five novels in The Blending series, and an additional three novels in The Blending Enthroned.
The covers for all the books were illustrated by Thomas Canty.
Every twenty-five years, those with magical talents, called adepts, compete for a position within The Blending, a group of five adepts who rule the land.
Tamrissa (the Fire adept), Lorand (the Earth adept), Jovvi (Spirit), Clarion (the Air), and Vallant (the Water) combine into The Blending, but another group of adepts attempt to usurp the position for themselves.
