The Bridei Chronicles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bridei Chronicles is Juliet Marillier's third series of historical fantasy novels. They depict the tutelage by Broichan, rise to power and reign of King Bridei I of the Picts in the sixth century A.D.
Like much of Marillier's work, "The Bridei Chronicles" are rooted in historical fact and many of the principle characters are historical personages. 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.
