While we’re gearing up for the release of Prince Lander and the Dragon War, here are 5 steps you can take to prepare.
Where Does Prince Lander Fit Chronologically in the Series?
Prince Lander and the Dragon War marks the 10th book in The Green Ember Series overall. It is the third installment in the Tales of Old Natalia Series and takes place before the famed adventures of Heather and Picket.

The Black Star of Kingston

A century before Heather and Picket’s adventures in The Green Ember, a displaced community fights for hope on the ragged edge of survival.
My place beside you
My blood for yours
Till the Green Ember rises
Or the end of the world.
Whitson Mariner and Fleck Blackstar face old fears and new enemies, forging a legend that will echo through the ages.
Old wars haunt. New enemies threaten. An oath is born.
A hero rises.
The Wreck & Rise of Whitson Mariner

Old Natalia, soon after Captain Blackstar saved king and cause on the shores of Ayman Lake.
Battered, but determined, Whitson Mariner leads his displaced rabbits into new dangers on a journey to their undiscovered home.
Whitson the king, Lillie the queen, Prince Lander, and loyal Massie Burnson must rise from the wreckage of betrayal to rescue the cause once more.
Treason broods.
Monsters menace.
Battle beckons.
A community rises.
