Greetings!

I can certainly recommend the 'Mordant's Need' Duology - Mirror of Her Dreams/A Man Rides Through. It is not nearly as dark as the Covenant Books or The Gap series, but certainly as immaginative and told in an awesomely visual way (I would love to see it done as a TV series.)

Now, the main character is a bit frustrating as she slowly develops, and the dialog is often monolog heavy (par for the course for Donaldson), but it certainly worked well for me.
