Yes. If you want to read the series - I would read in this order
The Children of Gods and Fighting Men
Dreams of Fire
The Words of Kings and Prophets
Dreams of Sorrow
The Land of the Living and the Dead
Dreams of Chaos
Dreams of Fire can be read first if you just want to see what my writing is like - there aren't any spoilers as such.
Dreams of Chaos can also be read as a standalone - as it's a prequel story - however if you are reading the whole series, it's best read after the third book

It should be released in September 2024.
(Keep your eye out for a novella (or maybe two) before then though.

I'm currently working on book 3 in The Gael Song series (plus working on a secret project that I'll hopefully be able to talk more about soon)
I'm also waiting on the edits of book 2 (The Words of Kings and Prophets) to come in - so will be working on that once they arrive.
