The Moorish duology is a distinctive early entry in Claire Delacroix’s catalog, departing from the Scottish and Norman settings she would later build her reputation around to explore the medieval Islamic world of Iberia and the broader Moorish cultural sphere.

Honeyed Lies (1994) and The Magician’s Quest (1995) both appeared during the early years of her career, showing a writer interested in the full range of the medieval world rather than the more familiar Western European settings that dominate the genre. The two books are shorter by current standards and lean into the more adventurous plotting that characterized mid-1990s historical romance.
