beenorthern said:I recommend *A Vision of Light* and *Chasing the Green Lion* by Judith Merkle Riley, medieval historicals about the adventures of Margaret of Shaftesbury. Well-written characters, interesting story and good research.
One of Riley's later books *The Master of All Desires*, also has elements of alchemy and is really a historical fantasy. I think anyone who likes Judith Tarr or Gillian Bradshaw will enjoy Judith Merkle Riley immensely.
I understand that Judith Merkle Riley's Vision of Light and Chasing the Green Lion are going to be rereleased this year. The third book in the series (which has only been released in German) The Water Devil, will finally be released in English, either the last of this year, or the first of 2007. Keeping my fingers crossed. I have all her books and enjoy them immensely. She has a great sense of humor.
