Reading Order

Best reading order is by publication date, as each story builds on the next, even though they are mostly stand-alone.

1. 1. The Blazing Princess (March 2022)
   2. Mirror (June 2023)
   3. The Princess Test (October 2023)
   4. Venom and Shadow (February 2024)
   5. The Gloaming Realm (June 2024)
   6. The Moon Prince (October 2024)
   7. Jack and the Midnight Cloak (June 2025)
   8. The Drowned Song (October 2025)
   9. The Unwelcome Guest (February 2026)
   10. Fatinah and the Ghost Ship (June 2026)
   11. The Guiding Lantern (October 2026) 

An alternate reading order is chronological within the world. RM (Rule of Man) marked the beginning of Man’s rule in Tessagonia. This was followed by EU (Era of Unification).

Note: Many Tessagonian tales overlap in time, sometimes spanning years or even decades of a character’s life. Events in one story may quietly influence another—even across regions.

1. 1. The Gloaming Realm (0 RM)
   2. The Moon Prince (1 – 21 RM)
   3. Jack and the Midnight Cloak (1 EU)
