Michael asked David Estes:

In what order should one read/listen to the Fatemarked vs Kingfall Histories? I know they take place in the same world, but does one take place before another or do they happen near the same time frame?

David Estes Hi Michael, thanks for your interest in Fatemarked and Kingfall! Chronologically, Fatemarked takes place before Kingfall, but the series are unrelated so they can be read in either order, as the settings are on different continents in the same world. That said, some readers have told me they think it's beneficial to read Fatemarked first as there are a couple of cameos in Kingfall by characters from Fatemarked. But it's totally up to you! Whichever series seems more interesting to you is a fine place to start! I'm also releasing the first book in a third series set in this world, Forsworn, on September 30th. This one takes place after Kingfall but will also be a completely new continent with a whole cast of new characters and adventures :)

If you like beautiful collector's editions of books for your shelves, I'm about to launch a Kickstarter campaign for the entire boxed set of Fatemarked, which will include at least 20 interior color illustrations (possibly more if our stretch goals are reached). If that's of interest to you, check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Whatever you decide, feel free to let me know what you think!

David
