The Annals of Altair includes Kate Stradling’s debut novel, A Boy Called Hawk (2010), alongside two later additions that returned to the same world nearly a decade later. A Rumor of Real Irish Tea and Oliver Invictus (both 2019) expanded the Altair setting with new stories and characters.
The series spans almost ten years of Stradling’s career, with the gap between first and second entries reflecting her growth as a writer while returning to a world that clearly held lasting creative interest.
