Historical Trilogy Books in Order

Lisa Jackson’s Historical Trilogy is a set of medieval-set romances written under the name Susan Lynn Crose. The books take readers to Wales, into a world of castles, feuds, and legends where love is tangled up with power and survival.

In this world, a vow can be a weapon.

These are sweeping, dramatic stories with a touch of the supernatural. Jackson leans into old family myths and the idea that certain bloodlines carry unusual gifts. Whether those gifts feel like magic or like curse, they raise the stakes for the characters who are trying to protect their people, and their hearts, at the same time.

The trilogy runs through Enchantress, Kiss of the Moon, and Outlaw. Each book follows a different couple, but they share the same moody atmosphere and connected world. Reading them in order helps the setting feel richer, and it lets the family conflicts and alliances develop naturally across the series.

Expect strong-willed heroines, intense heroes, and romances that don’t come easily. These characters are often forced to make choices between duty and desire, and the stories get a lot of their tension from that pressure. Betrayal is always a possibility, and love is rarely convenient.

Even if you don’t read a lot of historical romance, these are approachable because the storytelling stays clear and urgent. Jackson keeps the pacing brisk, with action and emotional confrontation to balance the period details. The supernatural thread is there to deepen the mystery and raise the emotional stakes, not to turn the books into pure fantasy.

If you know Jackson mainly for her contemporary thrillers, this trilogy shows her range. The suspense comes less from modern crime and more from political danger, family rivalry, and the uncertainty of who truly holds power behind castle walls.
