A Goodreads user asked Jeff Wheeler:

I was actually wondering about how your books could be classified. I thought some of the names on the map, like Blackpool, Occitania, and North Cumbria, sounded familiar so I looked them up and they seem to have possibly once existed or still do. Basically what I'm asking is would you classify your books as historical fiction since some of the places actually existed?

Jeff Wheeler They're more legends than real history (and I take quite a few liberties with my historical interpretations). So I think fantasy is the right category for my work.
