Rise of the Dominants Books in Order

If Brie's Submission shows the finished version of several powerful dominants, Rise of the Dominants steps back and asks how they got there. This prequel series focuses on Thane Davis, Brad Anderson, and Rytsar Durov before Brie ever enters the picture. The books trace the experiences that shape them into the men readers later meet at the Training Center.

The setup is simple and strong. These are talented, intense men who are drawn into a secretive BDSM world that will both sharpen and unsettle them. They are learning dominance, but Red Phoenix does not treat that as a shortcut to confidence. Each man comes in carrying his own damage, blind spots, and private rules for survival. The training forces all of that to the surface.

That is where the real story lives.

Sir's Rise centers on Thane Davis, who is all discipline on the outside and tightly guarded on the inside. Master's Fate widens the lens and brings a female lead into the orbit of multiple dominants, which gives the series some extra spark and tension. The Russian Reborn then turns to Rytsar, whose mix of charm, danger, and vulnerability makes him one of the most memorable figures in the wider Red Phoenix universe.

What links these books is not just chronology. It is the friendship between the men, and the sense that becoming a dominant is as much about restraint, responsibility, and emotional honesty as it is about command. Their bond matters. So do the women who challenge them, the mentors who test them, and the settings that push them past the versions of themselves they thought were fixed.

The tone is sexy and intense, but it also has a strong origin-story pull. You get the thrill of seeing legends before they become legends. Readers who already know Brie will catch a lot of satisfying context. Readers starting here will get a solid doorway into the broader universe.

This is a series about power, yes, but also formation. The men at its center are not finished products. They are becoming.
