The Catalan Chronicles by Peter Darman is a four-book series set during the early 14th century, when the Catalan Company, a band of Aragonese mercenaries, rampaged through the Byzantine Empire. The Black Sheep (2019) introduces the story, followed by The White Dragon (2020), The Golden Lion (2020), and The Silver Stallion (2021).
The color-and-animal naming pattern gives the series a heraldic feel that suits its medieval setting. Darman uses the historical Catalan Company as the foundation for a story about loyalty, greed, and the brutal realities of mercenary warfare in the dying days of the Byzantine Empire.
