I haven't heard anything about the rest of the series. I can check and let you know!

Sorry about that - I'm in the process of updating my website! It comes after Wedding Study, which is a novella collected in The Study Chronicles: Tales of Ixia and Sitia.

Hello! I collected all my short stories and novellas into one collection: The Study Chronicles: Tales of Ixia & Sitia. It also has 3 new short stories and reader art and fun facts!
Maria V. Snyder
So glad to hear you're enjoying Poison Study! I do have tandem read guides for all my companion books with Valek. Please message me your email address and I'll send it out to you!

Hello Emmi! I'm so glad you enjoy my books! You can find all those short stories, along with 3 new stories in my collection titled: The Study Chronicles: Tales of Ixia & Sitia. The book also has artwork, fun facts, all the maps of the world, and an introduction to each story. :)

Hello Christine! Sorry for the delay - I’ve been on a book tour in the UK! I’m so glad you enjoyed my books! Do you know about the new companion novels to Poison Study and Magic Study? The Study of Poisons and The Study of Magic? They are from Valek’s POV and have been quite fun and a big challenge to write. I’m planning on releasing The Study of Fire on November 26 to complete the companion trilogy. :D But as for new books with Yelena and Valek, I don’t have any plans right now.

Hello Jami! I’m so glad you enjoyed my book. Yes, there are multiple books and short stories in the Study series. It can be very confusing, so I put together an author recommended reading order on my website: www.MariaVSnyder.com/books.php If your library doesn’t have a copy, they can usually get them via inter-library loan. And you can read the ebooks on the library’s Libby App for free as well.

Yes there is! If you message me I can send it to you!! I also have one for Magic
Study and The Study of Magic. :D
Study and The Study of Magic. :D

Thanks for the lovely comments! So happy to hear you've enjoyed my books. I'm working on The Study of Magic so you'll get an even better insight. Plus, some back story about Ari and Janco. It'll be release April 19, 2024. :)

Hi Jen! I'm so glad you enjoyed the new audiobooks narrated by Kristin Atherton - so did an amazing job!! I sent an email to my publisher about the other books in my Study/Chronicles series and haven't heard back yet. I'll let you know what I find out!
Maria V. Snyder
Hello! Sorry for the delay - I missed seeing this! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books! You can read The Study of Poisons first - or right after Poison Study - or do a tandem read with Poison Study - it only covers the events in Poison Study so no need to worry about spoilers for the next books.

Hello Hreem! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books. You're in luck! I'm releasing a new Study book this weekend - The Study of Poisons - it's Poison Study from Valek's POV!! The audiobook is already available and the print and eBook editions will be available on April 15, 2023. :)
Maria V. Snyder
Hello! No, unfortunately, there isn't a third book. My publisher ended the series after two. :(

Hi Kelly! The Northern Ice sheet is the farthest north in that world, so there's nothing beyond it - no one would live there - it's too cold. I don't have plans to expand/explore, however I might write more about the next generation of characters and they might decide to explore. I don't plot out my stories and I discover the plots as I write. It's more fun that way! :D

Hello Emma! Sorry for the delay in my reply - I was in Australia for the last three weeks! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books! As for your question, I can consider your book for my TBR pile, but I can't guarantee to review it or to give you feedback. Between my writing students, my family, and my deadlines, there just isn't enough time. Which, as a fellow writer, you understand. :)

Hello Kristy! All my books are available as audiobooks in the USA through Audible. If you're in the UK or Australia, then there's a more limited selection. Here's a link to Poison Study: https://amzn.to/32N8zZy I hope this helps!
Maria V. Snyder
Hello! Thanks for reading my books! As for the Archives of the Invisible Sword covers - there are two different ones - the Australian editions and the Rest of the World editions, which is probably creating the confusion. It'll all depend on where you live as to what editions you can purchase. DM me and I'll help you out!

Hello Connie! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed my books and that you want more. That's always wonderful for an author to hear! As of right now, I don't have any plans for more Healer or Study books, but I just released the last book in my Archives of the Invisible Sword fantasy series. No forests, but desert sands and underground cities and my typical adventure/action/romantic plots! The Eyes of Tamburah is the first book and the eBook is currently on sale until the end of November!

Hello! I'm not actively learning marital arts at this time, however, I did train for a number of years in Issinryu Karate and earned my brown belt (family obligations put my training on hold). I attended a local school.
