Thats by Terry Brooks, not Terry Goodkind. Terry Goodkind wrote the Sword of Truthseries. I don't think anything about a fictional character's (King Arthur) grandparents and a fictional city can be considered historical fiction. It's just fiction. Please, do pardon my ignorance. I meant no offense and I apologize if any categorical laws were broken. I meant to say that the story is a great read, fiction as it is.
