Reading Order

Note

All these books are standalone. They’re listed in order of chronology, but you can start anywhere.

1: The Christmas Dragon (novella) Running away doesn’t work out thanks to a baby dragon, a frightened Fey prince, and Merlinian machinations.

2: Strings (novella) Grey never wanted to be a hero. He has better things to do than save the world from the threat of nightmare-monsters from his childhood. Unfortunately, the monsters aren’t giving him a choice.

3: Half-Shell Prophecies (novel) Katie ran from the magical world years ago. She never planned on being dragged back in by a prophesying clamshell.

4: For Daws to Peck At (novella) Vampire family drama, gruesome prophecies, and the power of choice come together in a crash so wild it will change the world.

5: The Almost-Wedding of John Barron Grey (novella) Fedoras and nanotech don’t usually mix too well, but then again, neither do human-only cults and magic.

6:  Solomon’s Choice (WIP) He was designed to be infectious and designed to be violent, but his creators forgot one thing: they forgot to remove his soul.

7: Beloved, Notte (WIP) He was designed to be infectious and designed to be violent, but his creators forgot one thing: they forgot to remove his soul.

8: The Sundered (novel)
He must decide who lives or dies: humanity, or humanity’s broken slaves.

9: A Necessary End (WIP) (coming soon) He shouldn’t exist. Then again, neither should most things from Dreams.
