What is the Reading Order of the Books?

You can read any of my series in any order—each one stands on its own and only contains minor spoilers for the others. All the books are set in the same world but on different continents, with stories that intertwine in subtle, meaningful ways.

That said, if you want the full immersive experience, including character connections, world lore, and the overarching timeline, I recommend reading in chronological order (and the order they were written):

  1. The Path of Zaan Trilogy

  2. The Dragon Sands Series

  3. The Riders of Dark Dragons Series

  4. The Song of the Ellydian Series

And don’t miss the novella By Sword and Sea, which serves as a prequel to everything.

Are there any Secret Books?

Yes—there are two secret extras for readers who want a little more:

  • Three Songs is a hidden prequel to The Song of the Ellydian series. It offers a deeper look at the lore and key events that shaped the saga. You can find the download link in the back of every book in the Song of the Ellydian series.

  • The Wedding is a secret bonus chapter that takes place after the ending of War of the Mystics (Book 5 in the Riders of Dark Dragons series). It’s available right after “The End” in that final book, and includes a link to download it for free.
