Try "Vrolok" Nolene-Patricia Dougan - much much better historically. She weaves actual historical events and characters into her fiction. Her research is obvious but yet its never dry or boring. Let me know what you think of it.
Vrolok? Ok I try to find it when I'll finish Chaman. It's not bad (for a best seller) but nothing special. My problem it's just when I start to read a book I have to finish (no matter is it's something like "The Historian")
