Leggeremale asked Intisar Khanani:

Hi Ms. Khanani, I've just came across your series "The Dauntless Path " and I'm immediately hooked with the plots, so I must ask you which is the order in which you recommend reading the books?

Intisar Khanani Hi Ale!

Thanks so much for this! The general reading order, with short stories included, is as follows (short stories have asterisks, and are completely optional):

*Brambles
Thorn (Book 1)
*The Bone Knife (included at the back of Thorn)
*The Tears of a Dragon
The Theft of Sunlight (Book 2)
A Darkness at the Door (Book 3)

Thorn is a slower paced story that is more about the internal journey my heroine goes on. If you're interested in a faster paced story, you can also start with Book 2, The Theft of Sunlight. Theft features a different heroine, and while the story has depth, it's a twistier read. If you start with Theft, there's enough of a recap that you'll be able to follow references to Thorn, though they will certainly mean more if you've read Book 1. But it's not necessary.

I would also encourage you to check content notes if you have material you find triggering, as my stories do deal with some serious topics including, but not limited to, surviving physical and emotional abuse, violence against women, animal death, and human trafficking.

I hope this helps! :)
