The Elder Races series by Thea Harrison takes place in a world where powerful supernatural beings known as the Elder Races have existed for millennia alongside humanity. The series begins with Dragon Bound, where Pia Giovanni steals from the hoard of Dragos Cuelebre, the most feared and powerful of the Wyr shapeshifters. Their relationship forms the backbone of the series, though each subsequent book typically features a different couple from the Elder Races world.

The series includes full-length novels and shorter novellas. The main novels follow Wyr sentinels, Dark Fae, Light Fae, and vampires through their own romantic stories while advancing the larger political storylines between the Elder Races demesnes. Novellas like Dragos Takes A Holiday and Peanut Goes to School revisit Dragos and Pia’s growing family and add lighter moments between the more intense installments. Later books in the series, including The Chosen and Planet Dragos, bring ongoing plot threads to a close.

Harrison built out the Elder Races world over more than a decade. The setting includes seven Elder Races demesnes across North America, each with its own ruler and political structure, giving the series a deep background for both the romance and fantasy elements.
