Three loosely linked novels by Lois McMaster Bujold set in a reasonably historically accurate counterpart to medieval Europe, with a pantheon of five gods (the Father, Mother, Daughter, Son and Bastard) -- fairly activist gods, but ones who are incapable of acting directly on the physical world, requiring them to work through willing humans. In publication order: * The Curse of Chalion (the Daughter's book) * Paladin of Souls (the Bastard's book) * The Hallowed Hunt (the Son's book)
