The Coscuin Chronicles is a two-book series by R.A. Lafferty, beginning with The Flame is Green (1971) and continuing with Half a Sky (1984). The books follow the Domdaniel family through periods of European upheaval, mixing real historical events with Lafferty’s own brand of myth and exaggeration.

The series carries Lafferty’s typical blend of Catholic philosophy and tall-tale storytelling. These are not straightforward historical novels but something stranger, filtering history through a lens that treats legend and fact as roughly interchangeable.
