Aurora Rhapsody runs across nine novels and three trilogies published from 2014 to 2018. Aurora Rising (Starshine, Vertigo, Transcendence) establishes the universe, Alex Solovy’s character, and the first major crisis. Aurora Renegades (Sidespace, Dissonance, Abysm) deepens the conflict with the Metigen aliens and the political fractures in human civilization. Aurora Resonant (Relativity, Rubicon, Requiem) resolves the mega-series arc.

Short story companions — Restless, Solatium, Venatoris, Apogee, and Re/Genesis — were published alongside the main novels and can be read interleaved per the author’s official reading guide on her website. The stories expand character detail and fill gaps between the novels without being required for the main plot.

The full listing on this page includes both novels and short story companions in reading order. Readers who prefer the novels alone can read Starshine through Requiem as a self-contained nine-book sequence before deciding whether to add the short fiction.
