Does anyone have a complete list of the Birthright novels that were published?

I'm reading one I got online (from Wizards of the Coast) right now, and I really like it, I'd like to read more, but I could only find one, something Spider.. something, on Amazon by looking up Birthright.

A list would be appreciated.

The Spider's Test, by Dixie Lee McKeone

Greatheart, by Dixie Lee McKeone

The Iron Throne, by Simon Hawke

There's probably more, but those are the only ones I know. Try searching Amazon the authors above.

The other 3 novels are...

The Falcon and the Wolf by Rich Baker(available online from WotC)
The Hag's Contract by John Betancourt
War by Simon Hawke

You could also include
The Shadow Stone by Rich Baker
It is a Forgotten Realms novel, but it was originally a BR novel and still very good read for BR background material, especially if you plan to use the High Mage Aelies in a campaign, or have anything to do with the College of Sorcery.

Much obliged.

The Falcon and the Wolf is turning out to be really good, so I wanted to check out the rest of them. Not easy to find though.

how is War by Simon Hawke, I bought The Iron Throne when it first came out and loved it, I would hope the other book would be almost as good.

War was not nearly as good as Iron Throne. It changes some of the epilogue of Iron Throne-Derwyn Boeruine didn't kill himself after all, and has restarted the war for control. We are back to just two factions fighting, rather than having provinces split away for themselves. It decides that Aedan Dosiere is dead, it introduces a wannabe half-elf Drizzt clone who apparently can wipe the floor with any blooded human, we get pointless sadomasichism, the Boeriune men start going crazy over some chick despite the fact she isn't blooded, and, most unforgiveable of all, we get a sappy love story happy ending which leaves us scratching our head over why the Empire wasn't reunited and lived happily everafter right then and there.

War is not completely without its good points. It does feature the Wizard! Very useful for anyone who wants to use her in a campaign. There are parts of the book aren't that great, but other parts I found very useful for fleshing out my campaigns.
