Okay, so lately I’ve been getting a lot of requests for a timeline of my works that are set in the world of Dezrel (ie the Half-Orcs, the Paladins, Shadowdance, and Breaking World). Below is a list of my books coupled with dates. These correlate to when each individual book *starts*. I’ve also included several books that I haven’t even begun yet, such as the new Half-Orc books or the last two of the Watcher’s Blade Trilogy.
IA stands for Idhrin en Adan, which is elvish for Year of Man.

Arrival of Man: 1 IA

(Breaking World) – Wrath of Lions 94 IA
(Breaking World) – Blood of Gods 95 IA

(The Half-Orcs) – Cost of Betrayal: 590 IA
(The Half-Orcs) – Death of Promises: 593 IA

(The Half-Orcs) – Sliver of Redemption: 595 IA
(The Half-Orcs) – The Prison of Angels: 600 IA

Something I want to emphasize is that the books were not written to be read chronologically. I’ve always tried to have them stand on their own. But for those who want to, then as a series it goes Breaking World, Shadowdance, Paladins, and finally Half-Orcs.
