A Study in Sorcery is an alternate history novel by Michael Kurland featuring Randall Garrett's fictional detective character Lord Darcy. It was first published in paperback by Ace Books in 1989; a trade paperback edition was issued by the Borgo Press imprint of Wildside Press in May 2011, followed by an ebook edition from the same publisher in July of the same year, reissued in February 2019. An audio-book version was published by Audible Studios in February 2012.[1]
The Lord Darcy stories are set in an alternate world whose history supposedly diverged from our own during the reign of King Richard the Lionheart, in which King John never reigned and most of western Europe and the Americas are united in an Angevin Empire whose continental possessions were never lost by that king. In this world a magic-based technology has developed in place of the science of our own world.
