Annette Marie The events of The One and Only Crystal Druid take place four months after the finales of Spellbound and Demonized.

I'm currently planning for four books in The Guild Codex: Unveiled. :)
Annette Marie Four Shifters and a Stranger is a free book available by signing up for my newsletter. Visit my website to find it! :)
Annette Marie Steel & Stone and Spell Weaver can be read in either order! Steel & Stone was published first, but chronologically, Spell Weaver takes place first.

However, I do recommend reading the Steel & Stone Companion Collection and The Blood Curse Bonus Epilogue after completing both series (for maximum tie-ins and awesomeness). :)

Annette Marie The Guild Codex: Spellbound is not a trilogy. Expect 6 or more books in the series. :)
Annette Marie Lots. ;) Expect 6 or more books in The Guild Codex: Spellbound series.
Annette Marie The Guild Codex isn't YA; it's somewhere between NA and adult.

The romance is very slow-burn and will build as the series goes on. Though it opens with more than one potential love interest, it isn't (and won't become) a reverse-harem romance.
Annette Marie Dark Arts and a Daiquiri will release on November 16, 2018 in ebook, paperback, and audiobook!

Annette Marie Spell Weaver is a prequel series and takes place 5 years *before* Steel & Stone. Lyre is the same character as in Steel & Stone, just 5 years younger (same for Ash).

The sequel series Blackfire will take place 5 years *after* Steel & Stone. So the chronological order is Spell Weaver, then Steel & Stone, then Blackfire, and the three series together will span 10 years. :)

Annette Marie Dystopian North America!

Some secondary and tertiary characters will be returning in Blackfire, but not all. Who remains to be seen. ;)
Annette Marie The Red Winter trilogy books are available through my distributor, but unfortunately, I have no control over what Chapters/Indigo chooses to list or sell on their site. However, you can request your local store order the paperback(s) for you. :)
Annette Marie Chase the Dark has been revised since it's initial release in 2014. I added more chapter breaks because (whoops) some original chapters were a bit massive. All of the books have had a few minor tweaks and updates as well. If you bought ebook copies through Amazon, you can update the ebooks to the most recent versions through your account.

The most up-to-date versions will be coming out in paperback, including the updated covers, before the end of the year. :)
Annette Marie Yes, there will be a sequel series called Blackfire, set five years after the Steel & Stone series. More info about my upcoming series can be found at www.annettemarie.ca/coming-soon
