Emberverse Books in Order

A sudden global change makes electricity, engines, and gunpowder stop working, collapsing the modern world overnight. In Oregon, a pilot, a folk singer, and a ruthless medievalist build very different answers to the end of civilization.

Eight years after the Change, Mike Havel and Juniper Mackenzie have built strong communities in the Willamette Valley. Norman Arminger wants their land, and the fight between freedom and feudal rule is about to turn open.

The war for Oregon reaches a turning point as the Bearkillers, Clan Mackenzie, and their allies confront Norman Arminger's expanding Protectorate. Strategy, diplomacy, and one decisive campaign will shape the post-Change West.

A generation after Corvallis, Rudi Mackenzie rides east on a quest toward Nantucket, where answers may wait. Behind him, the Church Universal and Triumphant is growing into a deadly, organized threat.

Rudi Mackenzie continues his perilous journey across a shattered America while the fanatical Sethaz tightens his grip in the West. The road east is full of allies, ruins, and enemies who think destiny is theirs.

Rudi's long journey east brings him closer to Nantucket and the truth behind the Change, while his friends fight for survival back home. Quest fantasy and post-collapse statecraft meet head-on here.

A generation after the Change, Rudi's quest for answers leads back to Nantucket and toward a crown he never sought. Old powers are stirring, and the post-Change world is starting to feel mythic as well as broken.

War with the Church Universal and Triumphant spreads across the changed West as Rudi and his allies press the fight. The book widens the map and shows how costly it is to turn hard-won unity into victory.

Now crowned Artos the First, Rudi Mackenzie has won major battles but not the war. To finish it, he must face the enemy's last strength and the weight of prophecy in the high country.

Montival and its allies gather for a last, costly struggle against forces that are hostile to human freedom and human life. The stakes are not just military, but spiritual and civilizational.

A new generation takes over the Change world as Princess Órlaith faces a rising imperial threat from Korea. To secure alliance with Japan, she and Reiko set out to find the legendary Grass-Cutting Sword.

This shared-world anthology expands the Emberverse far beyond Montival. Stories from different writers show how people survived, traded, fought, and rebuilt after the Change in places from Australia to the Mediterranean.

Órlaith and her allies press on with their dangerous quest for the Grass-Cutting Sword, a relic that could strengthen Montival's alliance with Japan. The journey runs through hostile country where politics and myth are equally sharp.

Swept across the Pacific, Prince John must survive pirates, sea monsters, and shifting island loyalties far from Montival. Back home, his apparent loss forces his family to prepare for a larger war.

Change Year 46 finds Órlaith and Prince John at the center of a widening struggle on land and sea. While John is far from home among island powers, Montival prepares for war against human and inhuman foes.

In the last Change novel, Crown Princess Órlaith tries to hold together the peace won by her father while old enemies and stranger threats close in. Politics, prophecy, and hard fighting all come due at once.
