    A newly-minted Hammerlord, Ash, finally has a home of his own and a party he’d fight and die for. The next chapter in his life is about to start, but along with that come many responsibilities, like…where do they put the monster trophies?

About this reading order

Books are listed in the series' own numbering, which for Riftside is also the best order to read them in. Years are first publication where we could confirm it, and otherwise the first audiobook release.
