If you’ve just finished “The Ruin of Ehslyng,” you’ve seen only one corner of a much larger world.
Here are three paths forward—choose the one that fits your mood right now.
If you want dark, epic fantasy with secrets and political stakes
Start with “In the Shadow of Secrets” (The Reckoning Book 1)
When assassins stalk her family during a deadly political Reckoning, secret-born Selah is sent to a noble academy for protection—only to discover that the Schola is just as treacherous as the world outside, and the truth she seeks may be the one that destroys her.
If you want magic, chaos, and a lighter tone first
Try “Magic & Mischief”
A fun, slightly chaotic story that shows the Sundered Realms in a more playful light. You get to meet several characters from “In the Shadow of Secrets,” but before the Reckoning begins. (But it’s not necessary to read this before “In the Shadow of Secrets”!)
Read “Magic & Mischief”
If you want emotional depth and character motivation
Try “In the Quiet Between”
A glimpse into the heart of Aedh of Fire—one of my favorite characters in the entire universe. (That said, I have a LOT of favorite characters!)
It’s atmospheric. Intimate. Painfully human.
Read “In the Quiet Between”
Wherever you go next, you’re walking the same tangled roads that lead to the First Daughter’s return.
