A series of novels by writers Creator/MercedesLackey, Creator/EricFlint, and Creator/DavidFreer. They are HistoricalFantasy novels set in an alternate Venice in the 1530s. The point of divergence from our history (other than the addition of FunctionalMagic), was Hypatia being converted to Christianity and stopping the mob from destroying the Library of Alexandria, eventually splitting the Church into the Petrines, under her own and St. Peter's doctrine, and the Paulines, under St. Augustine and Paul's doctrine.
