The Champions of Saint Euphemia is Claire Delacroix’s most sustained engagement with the Crusades as a historical setting, five books following knights who have pledged themselves to a specific community of faith and find that their vows are tested by love as much as by battle.

The series runs from 2015 to 2017, with two entries in both 2015 and 2016 before the final installment in 2017. The Crusader’s Bride and The Crusader’s Heart in 2015 established the world and tone; The Crusader’s Vow and The Crusader’s Kiss the following year deepened the cast; The Crusader’s Handfast brought the series to its close.

The Crusades setting distinguishes the series from the Scottish and Norman material that makes up most of Delacroix’s work. Readers interested in medieval romance with a Holy Land dimension will find this a strong entry point into her broader catalog.
