"With a keen eye for detail and the nuances of medieval Europe, Douglass begins a new multivolume fantasy set on alternate, 14th-century Earth. Filled with the intricate weave of religious and political history that made up an era when church and state were not yet divided, this powerfully written tale belongs in every fantasy collection and has strong appeal for fans of historical fiction." --Library Journal on The Nameless Day (Book One in the Crucible series) "This is an extraordinary novel, ...meticulously researched for an authentic 14th century atmosphere, not just in terms of aesthetic details, but in terms of the character's beliefs and philosophies of life." --SFX Magazine on The Nameless Day (Book One in the Crucible series) "Historical fantasy aficionados should not miss this compelling multilayered series." --Romantic Times (4 stars) on The Wounded Hawk (Book Two in the Crucible series) "Douglass seamlessly fuses the period's class struggle for freedom against tyranny with a disturbingly vivid look at the ambiguous battle between good and evil." --Publishers Weekly on The Wounded Hawk (Book Two in the Crucible series)
