New to the Chronicles of Shadow? Here’s everything you need to jump in.
Below you’ll find the best order to read the books, maps of the world, and a proper introduction to the elf who causes most of the trouble.
Reading order
Read the four main books in order, then continue with Scion of Shadow. The novellas can be enjoyed any time after the main series.
Book 1
Exile’s Redemption
A hopeful young warrior searches an ancient library for a way to heal a divided elven nation. A scoundrel hides in plain sight after ten thousand years of exile. When demons descend, they’ll have to trust each other to survive.
Book 2
Exile’s Gamble
W’rath saved his friends, but the price was steep. Trapped in a coma, the psion must claw his way out of his own ravaged mind, and his nightmares are spilling into the waking world.
Book 3
Exile’s Legacy
Some wounds only family can inflict, and they never quite heal. REPLACE THIS LINE WITH A ONE-SENTENCE HOOK FOR BOOK 3.
Book 4
Exile’s Vengeance
Ancient curses, pitiless slavers, the walking dead, and one very territorial dragon. Raven and W’rath race to save their people in the epic conclusion to the original series.
The sequel
Scion of Shadow
Two years of peace have left W’rath bored senseless. Then someone abducts his nephew and lures the ancient elf into the subterranean city of the Exiles, a place built to exploit his every weakness.

Neon Ashes
Before Allasea, Foxfire had a life: killer drones, a basketball-star girlfriend, plenty of family angst, and a crazed cyber killer on the loose.
The world of Allasea
Elven kingdoms, forgotten ruins, and lands reshaped by war. Click the map to see it up close.
The city of the Exiles
Deep beneath the surface lies the city W’rath must navigate in Scion of Shadow.
Meet W’rath
Ancient, cunning, and allergic to boredom, W’rath is a psion and rogue who spent ten thousand years in exile before returning to a world that no longer understands him, and one he doesn’t much care to understand either.
He’s loyal to the few people he tolerates, merciless to slavers, and constitutionally incapable of keeping a sarcastic remark to himself.
