The books – Thornbear (2014), Centyr Dominance (2018), and Demonhome (2018) – span a wider publication gap than Manning’s other series, with Thornbear appearing four years before the final two entries.

The series focuses on secondary characters introduced in Mageborn who take on more prominent roles in this continuation, allowing Manning to expand the world’s history while building on established relationships. Readers who have completed Mageborn and want to continue in the same world will find Champions of the Dawning Dragons a natural next step.
