The Vale series is built around a mysterious boundary — the Vale itself — that separates civilization from the unknown. Brian D. Anderson uses this premise to create a four-book fantasy that mixes exploration, survival, and the gradual revelation of what the Vale actually is and why it exists.

Published between 2018 and 2023, the series shows Anderson working in darker territory than his earlier epic fantasy. Behind the Vale sets up the mystery, and each subsequent book pushes deeper into increasingly dangerous and strange territory.
