The DragonCrown War Cycle by Michael A. Stackpole is a four-book fantasy series published between 2000 and 2003. The series opens with The Dark Glory War, which sets up the conflict that drives the following three books: Fortress Draconis (2001), When Dragons Rage (2002), and The Grand Crusade (2003). The titles across the cycle convey an escalating scope, moving from an initial war to a fortress siege to a full crusade.

Each book came out one year after the last, and the cycle runs as a single continuous narrative rather than loosely connected stories. Reading from The Dark Glory War through to The Grand Crusade in order gives the full arc of the war that the series is built around.
