The Moorish is an early two-book series from Claire Delacroix, setting its medieval romance in the world of Moorish Iberia and the broader Islamic medieval sphere. Honeyed Lies (1994) and The Magician’s Quest (1995) were published in the first years of her career, when she was exploring the range of the medieval romance form before settling into the Scottish and Norman settings that would define her later work.
Both books sit at the more adventurous end of mid-1990s historical romance, using the cultural richness of the Moorish medieval world as their backdrop. They are early works by the measure of her later output but show the curiosity about the full medieval world that has informed her career.
