THE COMPLETE LIBRARY
Books by E.M. Foster
Twelve novels across three complete series. Every realm is a full adventure with a beginning, an ending and secrets that reach beyond its own sky — read in order, or wander between worlds.
SERIES I — REALM OF ILI
The Fireheart Saga
Where legends are forged in flame and kingdoms fall.
DRAGON BONDING
HIDDEN HEIR
POLITICAL INTRIGUE
SLOW-BURN ROMANCE
The fires beneath Ili are dying. For centuries, its emperors have claimed that dragonkind vanished during the founding wars. But when a royal firekeeper awakens a creature thought extinct, she uncovers a secret buried beneath the throne itself.
To save her kingdom, Mara Veyne must decide whether to reclaim the crown that betrayed her family — or destroy the system that created it.
COMPLETE SERIES · 4 BOOKS · START WITH EMBER OF ASHES
THE HOOK
A hidden heir awakens the last dragon.
When soldiers burn her mountain sanctuary, firekeeper Mara Veyne escapes with an impossible discovery: a living dragon egg — and a bloodline the empire believed erased.
Hunted by the empire that fears her name, and by an ancient order sworn to protect it, Mara must learn to wield a fire she was never meant to inherit — before the throne of Ili finds her first.
Ember of Ashes
BOOK
I
THE HOOK
The throne can be reclaimed, but the crown consumes its wearer.
The great houses refuse an untested heir — and the ancient crown of Ili takes a piece of every ruler’s memory as its price.
Mara must win the loyalty of nobles who see her only as a stolen throne’s excuse, while the crown itself begins to ask a price she never agreed to pay.
Crown of Flame
BOOK
II
THE HOOK
Every empire has a heart. This one is still alive.
Beyond the eastern border, Mara learns what powers the ruling houses: the imprisoned hearts of dragons, drained beneath the oldest cities.
To free them means turning against everyone who calls her queen — and discovering how far the empire will go to keep its fire burning.
Heart of Empires
BOOK
III
THE HOOK
To save the realm, the rightful heir must end the throne.
The oldest dragon has awakened beneath the capital — and it remembers every betrayal committed against its kind.
As the Fireheart Saga reaches its close, Mara must choose between the crown she fought to reclaim and the fire that first chose her.
Throne of Fire
BOOK

SERIES II — REALM OF ELD
The Wyrmwall Chronicles
Ancient walls hide darker secrets than dragons.
DISGRACED WARRIOR
FORBIDDEN HISTORY
MILITARY FANTASY
MORALLY GRAY FACTIONS
For a thousand years, the Wyrmwall has protected the kingdoms of Eld from the creatures beyond it. At least, that is what the Wardens have always taught.
When a section of the wall falls without warning, disgraced commander Toren Hale discovers evidence that dragons did not attack the ancient kingdoms. They defended them. Now something older than dragonkind is moving through the northern wilds.
COMPLETE SERIES · 4 BOOKS · START WITH SHADOW OF THE WARDEN
THE HOOK
The monsters were never outside the wall.
Blamed for the Wyrmwall’s first breach in a thousand years, Toren Hale follows the creature that crossed — and finds a wounded dragon carrying the seal of the original Wardens.
What he uncovers beneath the ancient rampart will force him to question everything the Wardens were ever sworn to protect.
BOOK
I
Shadow of the Warden
THE HOOK
To uncover the wall’s origin, cross the wilderness that rewrites memory.
Beyond the Wyrmwall lies a forest that erases roads, memories and sometimes entire armies. Inside it waits the truth about the first Warden.
Toren will need allies he cannot fully trust, in a place that forgets its visitors long before they forget it.
BOOK
II
Veil of Lost Wraiths
THE HOOK
Humans declare war on dragons — but the dragons are already at war.
As ancient wyrm factions return from exile, a young dragon chooses Toren as its rider — a symbol neither side can control.
Caught between kingdoms that want a weapon and dragons who want a truce, Toren must decide what kind of Warden he intends to become.
BOOK
III
War of the Wyrms
THE HOOK
The wall can be restored, but its next guardian may never be free.
To save Eld, Toren and Ysra must restore the forgotten pact between dragons and the first kingdoms — and the pact demands a living guardian.
The Wyrmwall Chronicles closes with a bond that outlasts any wall — and a legacy neither of them chose, but both must carry.
BOOK
IV
Legacy of the Dragon
SERIES III — REALM OF ILIOS
The Citadel of Stars
Galaxies collide. Empires crumble. Destinies are reborn.
CELESTIAL MAGIC
MAGICAL ACADEMY
ALTERNATE TIMELINES
WORLDS IN COLLISION
The stars above Ilios are disappearing. Apprentice stargazer Seren Aster is the first to notice the pattern — and the only person who can hear the voices left behind.
Her search for answers leads to the Citadel, an impossible fortress suspended between worlds, where she discovers that Ilios is not alone — and that the fate of three realms may depend on a map written across the night sky.
COMPLETE SERIES · 4 BOOKS · START WITH SHADOW OF THE STARGAZER
THE HOOK
The missing stars are a warning.
When a star vanishes, it leaves behind a dark shape only Seren can see — and a stolen map that changes every night.
Apprentice stargazer Seren Aster will have to trust a gift she’s spent her whole life hiding, before the sky above Ilios goes dark for good.
BOOK
I
Shadow of the Stargazer
THE HOOK
To save the future, recover the past that was erased.
The Citadel exists outside ordinary time, guarded by a Keeper who remembers every world that has ever been lost — and someone inside has rewritten the origin of magic.
Seren must learn to read a history that keeps changing beneath her, before whoever is rewriting it decides she doesn’t belong in it at all.
BOOK
II
Keeper of the Origins
THE HOOK
Her greatest enemy is the woman she might become.
Across the Path of the Aeons, every decision creates another world. In some Seren is a queen. In others, a prisoner. In one, she has already destroyed the Citadel.
To find her way home, she’ll have to learn which version of herself is worth trusting — and which one is trying to stop her.
BOOK
III
Path of the Aeons
THE HOOK
Three worlds are becoming one — saving them may mean separating them forever.
As Ili, Eld and Ilios enter the same sky, dragons cross between worlds and entire histories collide. At the center stands the Citadel.
The Citadel of Stars concludes here — where every realm’s ending becomes someone else’s beginning.

IV
