Reading Order

Question: "Which series do I start with?"
Answer: Any series you want. Visit the BOOKS PAGE for the reading order for each individual series. Every series stands alone and is not wholly dependent on reading another. You won't feel lost. Each book simply expands upon the universe, focusing on different Breed types and characters. The world is immersive, so get lost in it. Keep scrolling if you want to follow the white rabbit.

Publishing order:
  1. Mageri Series (urban fantasy)
  2. Seven Series (paranormal romance)
  3. Crossbreed Series (urban fantasy)
  4. Black Arrowhead Series (paranormal romance)

NOW, FEEL LIKE GOING DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE?
 
 
 THE READING LIST BELOW IS FOR:
1. New readers who want the ultimate reading experience
2. Superfans/purists
 
Note: If you have read all the books in the Mageriverse, you are free to read them in any order you desire. Go nuts.
 
The purpose of this list is to allow new readers the full experience of every twist and crossover as they occurred when the books were initially released. This is the chronological order of events in the Mageriverse.


  •  THE VOW (Black Arrowhead 1) - Even though this book is more current than Crossbreed, this series does not overlap in any way with the Crossbreed books. Therefore, I would recommend reading it after the Seven series since it is a continuation of those stories.
  • THE CHOSEN (Black Arrowhead 3)  

 

FACTS

All books to date are written in the same universe (Mageriverse). Worldbuilding is sufficiently explained for the series, and readers are never left hanging. Surprise twist/crossovers are thoughtfully written in a way to try not to spoil it for readers who may have started reading a more recent series.
 

AHEM...

Do not contact Dannika Dark to correct the reading order. THE GIFT in particular "can" be read right after the Mageri series, if you have read all the books. But what made the twist in the Seven series so special was not knowing ahead of time. This list was compiled with those people in mind who want to experience the stories and surprises as they were initially written.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MORE ON EACH SERIES/STAND-ALONE

THE MAGERI AND SEVEN SERIES can be read independently of one another. However, there's a surprise crossover in the Seven series. For the best experience, read the Mageri series first. If you want to know all the connections between them, pick up the Seven Series Insider's Guide.

THE CROSSBREED SERIES contains a Mageri series character (Christian Poe) along with Mageri surprise cameos. In the Mageriverse timeline, it takes place after the Mageri series. If you want to know all the connections, pick up the Crossbreed Series Insider's Guide.

THE BLACK ARROWHEAD SERIES includes next generation Seven series characters and a few cameos. The story does not hinge on information from the Seven series, but knowing the characters' origin stories makes it special. Even though this series was written after Crossbreed, it can be read immediately following Seven for readers who don't want to wait to see what happens with the kids. Either order is fine.

THE GIFT and WINTER MOON were both written at the same time, after both the Mageri and Seven series ended. The Gift is better appreciated following the Seven Series.

CLOSER is a Mageri series novella. It contains no Mageri series spoilers and can be read as a stand-alone.

RISK is a Mageri side novel about Simon Hunt and contains SPOILERS about the Mageri series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but if you plan to read the Mageri series, follow the suggested reading order.

CHARMING is a Seven Series side novel about Prince. It does NOT contain any major Seven Series spoilers and can be enjoyed as a stand alone. In the Seven timeline, it falls between Two Minutes and  One Second.

Visual list of the ultimate readering order that was listed in the text post above.


This image may not up to date to include upcoming or recent releases. Black Arrowhead books will follow the previous ones in the series in the correct order. I will try to keep this updated.

  3. I have read both Series & I'm addicted! I drive tractor trailers for a living and I think I listened to all available audiobooks in less than 2 weeks! I can't wait for Risk to come out! I really do love Christian so I can't wait for his, as well as Simon's, stories to continue. Also I'd like to see the conclusion to the Cain/Caroline/Sunny storylines. I will keep my watchful eye for any new releases on the website. I get so immersed in the world that I actually feel excited as if I lived in the world. I'm in love with your writing & can't wait for any future works to suck me back in!

    Thanks,
    Patient Learner :)

  4. Hey Dannika

    I read the Seven series before the Mageri series. I tried starting to read Sterling a few times but for some reason I just couldn't . After finishing One Second and reading about some of the Mageri series characters I was finally able to start and finish reading the Mageri series within a week lol and just finished reading Risk.

    I hope all the others will be getting a story especially Finn as he was such a damaged kid to start with when Silver and the others rescued him but throughout the series i got to read about him slowly turning into the Alpha he was born to be so he really deserves to get a HEA.

    Thanks, Kate

    I really like the characters from the Keystone series. I'm wondering if Raven and Silver will ever meet? How will Christian respond????

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I personally think Raven would get a little freaked out at how Cross calls Silver little raven..I could see Christian using that to tease Raven somehow..hell I would, "Always take advantage to jab somebody's delicate nature when available" that's my motto. ;)

  9. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter. Subscribers got the exclusive first peek at the title reveal of the next in the series. So, exciting news, there will be more Crossbreed. I don't have any updates right now on when, but that will be posted on my website (and also announced on newsletter) once it's finalized. So glad to hear you are all enjoying Raven's adventures :)

  11. So, I started buying your books when I found the Crossbreed series, read three and then started the Mageri series. Nothing like doing everything backwards, lol. Love the stories! I know I will be adding these to my re-read list so next time I will read all your books in order. So glad I found you! Thank you for sharing your imagination with us.

  17. Dannika, I am a fan of all your books, but I have to say that your Seven series is my all time favorite that I've been re-reading for years. I enjoy a multi hero/heroine series to your single heroine ones. I'm also partial to your shifter world with your touches of real family experiences and dialog. Is there another shifter series in our future from you? Please, please, please say Yes!!!

  18. I need a new book.... I need to know what happens after Moonstruck!! I know there has to be more!!!

  19. I love all your books, going back and rereading the crossbreed series. I have read all 7 books how many will be in the complete series?

  20. My first book was Keystone & I was left wanting to get the full back story on Christian Poe. The Mageri series was off the chain including the side stories that were excellent. The embracing of the Chita lifestyle really was a great leading story into the Seven series of the Shifters because they have similar views on family values. It's as if one series leads so nicely into the next series & with all of the interbreeding its sweet to see Raven attempting to get in touch with her vampire side while falling for her soul mate. Even though I began with Keystone, the Seven series of the pack of Shifters is my favorite series. I hope there's more books to come having to do with Shifters & Chitas. Thanks for your works of literary art.

  21. OMG!! I'm up to date on Crossbreed so I started listening to Mageri and dying over Christian.

  22. I'm staring the Seven series tonight! I have read the Mageri and just finished the Crossbreed book 7. I'm excited to read Spellbound on November 5th. I do want to know if spellbound will be the last book of the series or if there are plans to continue afterwards. I love all the series and started with The Mageri years ago when I got my first Kobo. I've since then reread the series and continued with crossbreed because I loved Christian with his sexy Irish accent and banter with other characters. I also want to know if Silver and Christian will ever cross paths again :) Please..all I ask is if Crossbreed will continue after Spellbound. Thank you from a loyal fan. :)

  23. I started The Crossbreed Series before I even looked up the author! Big mistake, Dannika Dark you are truly poetic with your story telling and I cannot wait to finish these and begin the Mageri Series then the Seven Series next! If only I could read faster! lol Glad I found these series and author! If I get more of Christian Poe in any series I will be happy! It is amazing the world the author made come to life, it is definitely different from any other super natural books and the diverse races are outstanding. They should bring this to life on the big screen!

  24. I just finished reading all twenty-five books. They are addictive. Each character is so fully fleshed out that I could imagine further offshoots to their stories. I would love to know what becomes of Hunter as he grows up.

  26. I started listening to the cross breed aeries in May and have now listened to EVERY ONE of your books! I have to say I loved all of them but the Seven series is my absolute favorite! Please say you’re working on more books about this family!!! I would LOVE to see where the children’s lives lead them! Please, please tell us that maybe a new series about the next generation is in the works!!! I’m eagerly awaiting another masterpiece!

    1. More Crossbreed is coming. 2020 has been a rough year, and has impacted a lot of authors' release dates, but I'm currently working on the next novel in the series. :-) When a final book is planned, I'll make sure that readers know it's the last so you aren't left wondering. Happy reading!

    2. Dannika, I don’t think I have ever listened to all the books an author has published but I have to tell you I just couldn’t stop listening and I am so sad that I have finished them all in like 2 months no less! I love the way you make the characters come alive with all of their quirks. I laughed out loud literally and in some cases cried. Well done! Lol I just wish you would publish them faster! Kudos to Nicole Pooles narration as well.

  27. I started with crossbreed, so now I'm going backwards and reading sterling so I can get the full picture. I wish I had known about the reading order so hopefully I won't spoil anything for myself by starting with the last series first. I LOVED crossbreed and can't wait for the next one!!! Any advice from people who did as I did, and read out of order?

    1. I did the same. I found out about the Crossbreed series first and have read them all and am now finally going to Sterling. Love the writing and the characters. I have recommended these books to several people. Also, I listen to these books on Audio and Nicole Pool does such an amazing job at being all of these characters out. Love love love!!!

  28. I was recommended your books through a book club earlier this year and have to say I started at the beginning and I have just finished Heartless and I feel lost... can't wait until the next book comes out. I love your writing, the humour and the story lines, you are simply amazing. So thank your for your creative mind and works.

  29. Wow so I've finished the mageri series currently upto date with the crossbreed series and just started seven seriously hoping to see some crossovers sometime soon I think silver could learn a hell of alot from the likes of gem and niko and it would be excellent to see claude meet the cross brothers....

  30. You know I really love and hate you every time I finished a new book you wrote. I love you're writhing and world building and characters so much that after I finished you're newest book I can't get into another book written by a different author for a atleast a week. So that is kind of frustreded for me sins I love to read or listen to story's but it also means you do something very right. So keep going and can't wait to see what's next.

  31. Dannika Dark is one hell of an author! I started with the cross breed series not knowing there was more. As soon as I finished Spellbound I went back and started from the beginning. I absolutely love love love the Seven series and am currently working through it again. I agree with someone’s comment above about more from the kids! I wonder/hope that’s the plan with the Black arrowhead series. I have not gotten to Heartless yet, because for some reason the library has not gotten it yet. I’m trying to be patient, but I might just breakdown and buy it! I do have a question that is driving me crazy. So I read the crossbreed series first, then Mageri and based on Dannika’s explanation above there is a surprise crossover. I have now gone back through the crossbreed series again and am wondering what the surprise is! Does it happen in Heartless and I just haven’t read it yet? Or ***SPOILER***, does it relate to Knox or Finn? I love these books and can not wait to see what happens next in the Mageri universe!

  32. Dannika is one of my favorite authors. The way she brings the characters to life is amazing. My favorite series is Crossbreed and I'm in love with Christian Poe. I read the books out of order the first time but the second time around is even more amazing, especially when Knox follows Wyatt home. I will read anything that Dannika writes, so keep it up!!

  33. I wish I had time to "read" the books. Instead, I've download ALL of them from Audible and love listening to them while I work, it's a good thing I work from home when the steaming parts are on! Nicole Poole is amazing with all the voices of the characters, it really brings everything to life! I'm on round 2 of listening...so addicted. I do love Christian Poe and Simon.

  34. I'm in the Cross Bread series a d past Raven's comment about only finding juke boxes in Breed bars. Well yesterday I'm in this small but nice hangout bar. The bartender was a real nice husky guy. Then I saw the jukebox!!! I was hoping but no one fit the bill! LOL

  35. So I wanted to add my addition to the super fan reading order. I follow as listed above exactly, except, when listening to four days, around the 8hr 44min mark I switch over and I listen to "the gift" instead of listening to it after the seven series, it lines up well & really makes the story even deeper and touching without having any other spoilers that I caught... Happy reading!

  36. I'm really hoping to see some crossover between the Mageri and Crossbreed series; I think the interactions between the Keystone group and Silver, Justus, Simon, etc would be so interesting! Maybe I feel like it would bring things full circle, idk.

  37. I've been with Dannika Dark's world of breed for many years, before the Crossbreed series even started. I love all of them and all of the characters. But I have to say, I'm not sorry to see Lenore hit the road. She had to go. I also love the Phoenix in the most recent of the Cossbreed. I'm guessing it was Houdini but it never states so one way or the other. He is really quite the mystery. Keep it up. I hope the breed world never comes to an end

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love them all. All the characters and their stories. There is so much room for more and I hope it never ends. I know its strange, but I love to read a book and then listen to it. The narration really brings it all to life and while I've always had difficulty reading a book more than once, I can listen to it over and over again. I'm a fan for life.
