Her first three novels, "The King's Peace" (2000), "The King's Name" (2001), and "The Prize in the Game" (2002) were all fantasy. They happen in a world based on Arthurian Britain and the Táin Bó Cúailnge's Ireland. Her next novel, "Tooth and Claw" (2003) was about dragons, but in the style of Anthony Trollope.
