YAPerfect Fire Trilogy series.
In this medieval tale, weaver's son Raimon loves noble Yolanda. When the mysterious Blue Flame of the Occitan, kindled at the moment of Christ's death, chooses Raimon as its champion, his struggles take on a larger significance. Grant, who knows how to write a love story with subtlety and naturalness, also handles political calculations and spiritual ones with aplomb.
