The Recommended Reading Order for Treoir Dragon Chronicles
The Treoir Dragon Chronicles of the Belador World is a fast-paced urban fantasy series written by New York Times bestselling author Dianna Love. Set in a magical underworld beneath modern-day Atlanta, the series follows Daegan, an ancient red dragon shifter king, as he fights to protect his people, reclaim his honor, and prevent supernatural predators from exposing the preternatural world to humanity.
Because the series was originally released as a rapid-release serial, the narrative flows continuously from one book directly into the next. To avoid major spoilers and follow the plot progression, you should read the books in strict numerical order. The series is available in two formats: as nine individual ebooks/audiobooks or as three compiled physical volumes.

Chronological Placement in the Belador Universe
While the Treoir Dragon Chronicles is marketed as an accessible entry point for new readers, it is technically a spinoff of the larger Belador series. Dianna Love originally co-authored the early Belador books with Sherrilyn Kenyon before taking over the series completely.
The main protagonist of this spinoff, Daegan, is introduced in the eighth book of the main Belador series, Dragon King of Treoir. If you want the absolute richest experience and full context of the characters, factions, and world-building, you may want to read the main Belador series first. Here is the chronological reading order of the main series leading up to the Treoir Dragon Chronicles:
- Midnight Kiss Goodbye (Novella #0.25)
- Fire Bound (Novella #0.5)
- Blood Trinity (Belador Book 1)
- Alterant (Belador Book 2)
- The Curse (Belador Book 3)
- Deadly Fixation (Novella #3.5)
- Rise of the Gryphon (Belador Book 4)
- Demon Storm (Belador Book 5)
- Witchlock (Belador Book 6)
- Tristan's Escape (Novella #6.5)
- Rogue Belador (Belador Book 7)
- Dragon King of Treoir (Belador Book 8)

- Evalle and Storm (Novella #10.5)
- Treoir Dragon Chronicles (Books 1–9)
What to Know Before You Start
Before you dive in, keep in mind that the Treoir Dragon Chronicles books are shorter than the main Belador novels because of their origins as a rapid-release serial. Each individual book functions more like an episode or a chapter in a grander arc. If you dislike cliffhangers, we highly recommend reading them via the compiled 3-volume omnibus editions instead of one by one.
The tone of the spinoff remains faithful to the urban fantasy elements of the main Belador series, balancing action, mythology, and paranormal romance with dark, high-stakes magical conflicts. However, the focus shifts squarely onto Daegan's perspective and his specific quest, making it a more localized story compared to the sprawling team-up nature of the main Belador books.
