I’m often asked for the preferred reading order of the The House of Crimson & Clover. The volume books must be read in order, but the Lagniappes can be read anytime.
I’ve listed below two different reading orders, according to most popular preferences.
Use this reading order if you want to read the books in the intended progression of the storyline.
Volume I: The Storm and the Darkness
Volume II: Shattered
Volume III: The Illusions of Eventide
Volume IV: Bound
Volume V: Midnight Dynasty
Volume VI: Asunder
Volume VII: Empire of Shadows
Volume VIII: Myths of Midwinter
Volume IX: The Hinterland Veil
Volume X: The Secrets Amongst the Cypress
Volume XI: Within the Garden of Twilight
Volume XII: House of Dusk, House of Dawn
Lagniappes (any order)
Use this order if chronological order is more important to you than series progression.
