The Second Son (2025) launched the Chase Burke series, Gervais’s newest protagonist alongside the active Caspian Anderson books. With The Marked Son following in 2026, Gervais is continuing his practice of building series quickly and running multiple protagonists in parallel — a publishing approach that suits readers who want regular new entries rather than long gaps between books.
Both Chase Burke titles are very recent at time of writing, and further details about the protagonist and series arc will emerge as the series continues.
