The Co-Authorship Shift

If you notice a change in tone starting with Book 5 (Demon Storm), you are not imagining it. The first four novels in the series were co-authored by Dianna Love and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Starting with the fifth book, Dianna Love took over the series as a solo author, expanding the lore and driving the characters in new directions.

The Treoir Dragon Chronicles Spin-Off

Once you finish the main Belador series, you can dive straight into the Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World. This completed spin-off series consists of 9 short novels (originally released in 2020-2021) that focus on the dragon shifters. They are also available collected in three trilogy volumes (Volume I, II, and III).

Frequently Asked
