The Montbryce Legacy is Anna Markland’s signature series and the work that launched her career. Originally planned as a single novel, it grew into a 15-book saga spanning the Norman period and beyond. Markland’s own genealogical research into her English ancestry inspired the series. She traced her roots back to the Norman Conquest and used that fascination to build a fictional noble family whose story would unfold across generations.
The series begins with Conquest and Conquering Passion, set in the aftermath of 1066, and follows the Montbryce family through political upheaval, forbidden love, and generational conflict. Later entries like Star-Crossed, Allegiance, and Finale carry the family forward through new eras and challenges. The 15-book span gives Markland room to develop the Montbryce world in detail, with recurring family dynamics and historical events shaping each generation’s story. The series also connects to The FitzRam Family, The Anarchy, Montbryce: The Next Generation, and The Montbryce Dynasty, making it the centerpiece of Markland’s largest fictional universe.
