Map with Books - 2025

Hello dear readers!

I hope this finds you well. I’m busy preparing for Dragonsteel Nexus 2025, so I don’t have much in the way of updates, but I do want to share something fun I’ve been working on with you!

Sometimes I feel like it’s a little hard to explain what Dustin, Phil, and I do, all writing in the same world. But I made this graphic for Dragonsteel recently that I think sums it up nicely!

What I really like about this is that you get a sense of where all the books are taking place in relation to one-another. A Songbird’s Tale, and the spin-off novels that I have written all take place in country of Tigraen. The Neversleep Scrolls, which Phil writes, take place in the city of Arathes, which is in the country of Sarmatti. The Sellsword Saga, which is Dustin’s series about Cas the Mercenary are a little different. Cas is a wandering mercenary, so his adventures will take him all over Nova Eian. (Nova Eian being on of the continents on the world of Galhadria.) You can see that Cas started in Gazea, just outside of Tigraen. From there he’s traveled all the way to Pileus. His next adventure will take him over to Drialadon in The Free Kingdoms.

Eventually, I’ll have to get a bigger map, but for now, I think it’s neat to see how much we have accomplished collectively. At some point, you can expect some of these characters to bump into each other…

Both Shadows Spill the Darkest Blood and Of Festivals and Fey are slotted for release sometime in early 2026, so keep your eyes peeled for those.

Till next time dear reader! ~ Tiff
