Tales Of Old Natalia Books in Order

Tales Of Old Natalia steps back more than a century before Heather and Picket. These books tell the older history of rabbitkind, back when the world that later feels battered and half-lost was still being made, defended, and nearly destroyed. The tone is still adventurous, but there is more of a legend-building feel here. You can sense that the choices in these books will echo for generations.

Instead of one main pair, the trilogy follows several key figures. Fleck Blackstar, Whitson Mariner, and Prince Lander each carry part of the story, and together they show how a people under pressure try to build a future. They are not living in a golden age. They are dealing with displacement, betrayal, rough travel, invasion, monsters, and the endless work of protecting a fragile community when there is hardly any safety to spare.

Old Natalia feels wider and rougher than the later series.

The Black Star of Kingston begins with a displaced rabbit community fighting for hope on the edge of survival, while Whitson Mariner and Fleck Blackstar face new enemies and help forge an oath that will matter long after them. The Wreck and Rise of Whitson Mariner stays with that generation as king, queen, prince, and loyal companions try to lead their people through treason, monsters, and the search for a true home. By Prince Lander and the Dragon War, the stakes have turned grim. Lander must face a world shadowed by tyrannical dragons and Namoz Dragonking, with rabbitkind itself threatened.

What you get across the trilogy is the slow making of a nation, not just a run of side quests. Homes are lost. Leaders age. Ships wreck. Loyalties crack. Younger characters inherit danger before they are ready. These books also widen the map, taking readers to lakeshores, wild routes, embattled communities, and the edges of a kingdom trying to survive its own history. Because of that, the later Green Ember stories land harder when you know where the names, promises, and scars came from.

These are prequels, but they do not feel small.

If you like origin stories, heroic last stands, and the kind of fantasy where songs, vows, and family lines matter, this series is a good place to linger. It gives Natalia its weathered past and shows why hope in the later books feels hard won instead of automatic.
