The Bridei Chronicles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Bridei Chronicles" is Juliet Marillier's third series of historical fantasy novels. They depict the rise to power and reign of King Bridei I of the Picts in the sixth century A.D.

The trilogy, when completed, will be comprised of:

• The Dark Mirror
• Blade of Fortriu
• The Well Of Shades

Like much of Marillier's work, "The Bridei Chronicles" are rooted in historical fact and many of the principle characters are historical personnages. However, a strong element of fantasy is also present, and the author's note makes clear that history is only a starting point for her romantic tales.
