The FitzWarin series by Elizabeth Chadwick consists of three novels published between 2000 and 2004. The books follow members of the FitzWarin family, a real Anglo-Norman dynasty that clashed with the English crown over lands and power along the Welsh Marches. The series covers themes of loyalty, dispossession, and rebellion during a volatile period of English history.

Chadwick brings the border country between England and Wales to life, with its castles, raids, and competing loyalties. The FitzWarin story has all the elements of a compelling historical tale: outlaw heroes, feuds with kings, and families fighting to hold onto what is theirs. These novels are among Chadwick’s more focused works, tightly plotted and rich with period detail.
