The Chronicles of Avantia is a companion series set in the same world as Beast Quest but telling a distinct story. Published in 2010 and 2011, the five books follow a narrative arc that unfolds across the full series – First Hero, Chasing Evil, Call to War, and Fire and Fury build on each other rather than presenting the self-contained beast encounters that define the main Beast Quest books.
The first entry, De Eerste Ruiter, was published in Dutch, reflecting the broad international reach of the Beast Quest franchise. The series introduces different heroes to the land of Avantia, expanding the world beyond Tom’s adventures and giving readers who have followed the main series a fresh perspective on the kingdom they already know.
The Chronicles of Avantia works well for readers who have read earlier Beast Quest books and want something with a longer narrative thread. The five-book structure gives the story room to develop over a genuine arc, making it closer in feel to a traditional fantasy series than the episodic format of the numbered Beast Quest collections.
