The Chalion novels

Lois McMaster Bujold wrote three books in the fantasy world of Chalion. Each stands alone, although some minor characters from one book appear as major characters in another. Three books doesn't normally make a series, but The Curse of Chalion is probably my all-time favorite fantasy novel.

• The Curse of Chalion
• Paladin of Souls
• The Hallowed Hunt
