Overworld Arcanum Books in Order

A mysterious girl leads Conrad into the Glimmer, an ancient realm whose queen may help his parents regain power. He must stop their alliance before its secrets and promise of immortality place the Overworld under their control again.

Conrad’s foster parents keep dying, and the orphanage that takes him back conceals a slave operation. An attack reveals a magical world beyond his confinement, but escaping its cruelty means confronting the curse that follows him.

Conrad seeks a mysterious relic that may bring Cora back from the dead. Rival collectors and deadly attacks complicate the quest, while prophetic warnings suggest that finding the object could doom the world he hopes to help.

Conrad learns that his father can create demonic copies of living people and use them to seize control of the Overworld. Destroying the foundry requires identifying allies, enemies and replacements before political maneuvering completes his father’s rise.

With his father ruling the Overworld, Conrad flees hunters while his strongest allies remain unable to use magic. A connection to an ancient power offers the resistance one last chance, if he survives long enough to wield it.
