When I started this page on my site, I didn’t imagine that so many novels would be published. With multiple book series and a variety of novels and short stories, the list has gotten pretty long. I’m updating this today in May 2021, so it should have all the novels up to that point, and I’m also trying to include short stories, though it might be harder to remember them all!
(note: I also publish gripping sci-fi romance novels under ruby lionsdrake; those books are exclusive to amazon and can be found there.)

Tales can be read at any time, except for “Gifts of Solstice Day”, which takes place between Bloodforged II and Republic. i wrote the three adventures in the ice cracker ii collection after the emperor’s edge and before dark currents, and originally had them set 9-12 months after the adventures in the first novel, but the plot of the series developed more quickly than I originally imagined. , so some of the dates are a bit… weird (yes, that’s the official vocabulary word).
I wrote the assassin’s curse just before I started work on the fourth book and decided that it takes place in the summer, between the events of book 2 and book 3.

Chronologically, this story takes place about eighteen years before the Emperor’s Edge, so you could read it first if you wanted, but it shouldn’t matter.

The sequel to Encrypted, Decrypted is now available.
I have also created a box that includes all these stories, you were forgotten.
