The Recommended Reading Order

For the best reading experience, we highly recommend reading the Advocate series in publication order. Because the books follow the personal and professional evolution of juvenile law attorney Sabre Orin Brown, reading them sequentially allows you to watch her relationships and life story unfold naturally. Conveniently, Teresa Burrell utilizes an alphabetical naming system, making the chronological order exceptionally easy to remember.
