A true knight never turns down a Quest. Explore Medieval Europe with these genre-spanning books and earn your grail. Some titles are set in the transitional time from the Medieval to Early Modern period.

Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).

This Quest was inspired by the List "One and Done Fantasy" by hannah, winner of Q2 2026 community voting.
