Chronicles of the Necromancer

The adventures in the Winter Kingdom begin in The Summoner and carry through the Chronicles of the Necromancer series. The Fallen King’s Cycle also takes place in the Winter Kingdoms and includes many of the same people, picking up shortly after Dark Lady’s Chosen. If you enjoy this world, please also check out the Jonmarc Vahanian Adventures, a series of short stories chronicling Jonmarc’s life before he meets up with Tris in The Summoner. The first collection of those stories will be released from Solaris Books in June of 2016: The Shadowed Path and will also include an exclusive adventure not available elsewhere.
