The Dark Champion series by Jo Beverley moves away from her typical Regency setting to explore medieval England. The series includes Lord of My Heart (1992), set during the Norman Conquest, Dark Champion (1993), and Lord of Midnight (1998). The Shattered Rose (1996) is also connected, dealing with the aftermath of the Crusades.

These books are grittier than Beverley’s Regency romances, with the political violence and feudal power struggles of the medieval period shaping the conflicts. The heroines must contend with forced marriages, siege warfare, and the limited options available to women in the era. Beverley’s research into medieval life gives the series a level of historical authenticity that sets it apart from more romanticized treatments of the period.
