Novels of the Ring Realms

When the novel Shaladen Chronicles: A Knot In Time was first conceived, it was seen as part of an open-ended series that revolved around the members of the Protectorate. Stories would focus on the different members and subordinate supporting cast.

Because I didn't work solely on Chronicles, but on other novels at the same time, I began to see possibilities for cross-overs and cameos between the protagonists of the three novel series I was working on.

Wren Kergatha (whose story line starts earliest of the three series) interacts with many of the characters depicted in the Chronicles. She also is the savior savant who befriends and helps Bannor in the Reality's Plaything series.

In the later books of the Reality's Plaything series more and more characters crossed over. The Gaea's Legacy trilogy (Eternal's Agenda, Savant's Ascendant, Infinity Annihilator) closes that arc at NIS 1115. Running in parallel, the Ethermancer saga follows traveler Daedalus (Dae) Silvarron through Magocracy and Protectorate intrigue (Conscript of the Eternals at NIS 1115; Consort of the War Goddess and The Shape Stealer Conspiracy early in NIS 1116, before the events of Gaea's Blood). Gaea's Blood (Savant's Blood) and Who Mourns the Creator (Shaladen Chronicles) both fall at NIS 1116, after Infinity Annihilator, and bring together most of the characters from that last story arc.

War of the Genemar takes place roughly fourteen years after the events in Infinity Annihilator. The first book in that series (Child of Ascendants) was written somewhat out of sequence and is already available; the later Genemar volumes remain forthcoming.

As of 2026, the published Ring Realms novels available through Writer's Exchange and Amazon (Will Greenway author store) are marked with an asterisk (*) on the series tables above. Gaea's Blood is nearing completion; Who Mourns the Creator has an opening drafted. The Ethermancer volumes are planned / forthcoming.

The chronological order of events in the novels roughly follows the list below. (Numbers specify the summer cycle N.I.S. [New Ivaneth Standard]):

The War of Genemar should see some of the following events:
