In the mid-2010s, Sara Gold began to transition from fantasy to historical romance, a genre that would become synonymous with her name. Her Lady Travelers Guide series, set in the late 19th century, marked a significant turning point in her writing career, as she began to explore the complexities of romantic relationships in a more traditional setting.
Sara Gold's writing career began in the early 2000s, with the publication of her debut novel, "The Fool's Assassin." This marked the beginning of her Ranger's Apprentice series, a fantasy epic that follows the journey of Thomas, a young orphan trained as a ranger, a spy and assassin, in a medieval kingdom. While not exclusively focused on romantic relationships, the series lays the groundwork for Gold's future exploration of complex characters and their interpersonal connections.
The series follows Fanny, a young woman who runs a discreet escort service for ladies traveling alone, while navigating her own complicated relationships and romantic entanglements. This shift towards historical romance allowed Gold to tap into her fascination with human relationships, crafting nuanced and engaging storylines that captivated readers worldwide.
