Reading order
Where to start
Start with The Fire. It is Book One and the only volume currently available; the later books are planned to follow it in order, so there is no alternate entry point.
About the titles
Fire, blood, scales. Read side by side, the three titles move from destruction, to inheritance, to judgement. That is our editorial reading of the sequence rather than a statement from the author, and the planned books will speak for themselves when they arrive.
