The correct answer is all of them. Kay is one of my Don't Wait For the Paperback Just Fucking Buy It Already authors; you won't ever lose.

I should note that the trend in his later works is more towards fake historical fiction with supernatural elements lurking in the background rather than straight epic fantasy. On the other hand, this is his take on what fantasy should be and I can't say I disagree.

Anyway his post-Fionavar books:
  • Tigana (Renaissance Italy)
  • A Song For Arabonne (Medaeval France)
  • Lions of Al-Rassan (Islamic Spain ca. 1300)
  • The Sarantine Mosaic (Byzantine Empire under Justinian) which is actually a bilogy (or whatever the word is)
    1. Sailing to Sarantium
    2. Lord of Emperors
  • The Last Light of the Sun (Saxon Britain and the Vikings)
He vaguely maintains the idea that these are all reflections of Fionavar, however, from Lions on, everything seems to be taking place in the same world (i.e., he's evidently settled on what he wants his alternate history to look like...)
