The Riven Gates series by Michael G. Manning is a three-book epic fantasy continuation of the Mageborn world, published between 2018 and 2019. The books – Mordecai, The Severed Realm, and Transcendence and Rebellion – advance the world’s history further into new conflicts and consequences that follow from the events of earlier series.
Manning uses this series to push the scale of conflict in his world, with the title’s reference to “riven gates” suggesting a fracturing of the boundaries between realms that carries significant consequences for both magic users and the broader world. The series assumes familiarity with the events of Mageborn and its companions, making it most appropriate for readers who have already explored the connected series.
