King's Peace
Jo Walton · 3 novels · 2000–2002
Jo Walton's The King's Peace opens an alternate-history retelling of the Arthur legend set in the invented land of Tir Tanagiri. Sulien ap Gwien, a young woman whose family is attacked by raiding Jarnsmen, takes up arms and rises through the cavalry of Urdo, the high king trying to unite Tir Tanagiri's warring kingdoms under one peace. The story continues in The King's Name, while The Prize in the Game serves as a prequel exploring the same world's earlier history.
