The Tombs of Atuan, by Ursula K. Le Guin, copyright 1970, 1971; illustrated by Gail Garraty; Bantam Books, 14th edition, January 1981. I finished the Sci Fi channels Legends of Earthsea mini series; it was very, very bad. Thankfully the original books remain classics.

Space Viking, by H. Beam Piper; copyright 1963 by Ace Books; Garland Publishing, 1975.

Crown Duel, by Sherwood Smith; Firebird/Penguin Putnam Inc, 2002. Originally published as Crown Duel and Court Duel by Harcourt, Brace, & Co in 1997 and 1998. A very good fantasy of manners; the two books really are better as one.
