WHAT IS HISTORICAL FANTASY ROMANCE?
The fantasy romance genre is a newer concept in fiction. Rather than being a subgenre of fantasy, this type of story is a subgenre of romance, meaning the romantic relationship drives a significant portion of the plot even though there are fantasy elements. Historical fantasy romance takes place in a real historical time period, but there will be magical events and/or beings within this world.
Another way to think of it is like this: it's taking all the best parts of a fairytale—the historical setting, the magic, and the romance—and wrapping them all together into one story. Claire's books immerse you in long-ago cultures where folklore peeks out of the corners, romance sweeps you off your feet, and good always overcomes evil.
