Ten books by one author, six by another, and a famous argument about whether to interleave them.
There are two real orders and neither is wrong. The default here is the simple one: Erikson's ten straight through, then everything else. The interleaved order is named below because it is the better order for a second read and because the argument about it is the most-asked question in this series.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
It drops you in the middle of a world with no exposition and it was written years before the rest. Push through it. This is the single biggest attrition point in epic fantasy.
The two books that make the case for the whole thing.
Seven more. Midnight Tides throws out the cast at book five and starts again on a new continent, which is deliberate and which loses people.
A different writer at a different level, which is exactly why they sit after Erikson's ten rather than inside them. Return of the Crimson Guard follows The Bonehunters directly and is the one whose position is worth arguing about.
Erikson's sequels. Two published, a third due October 2026, and a fourth confirmed with no date.
Then what? Path to Ascendancy is four prequels with two more referenced, and works better as a return visit than as a way in. Kharkanas is two of three and the third is unwritten, so starting it is a choice rather than a step. The Bauchelain novellas go anywhere after Memories of Ice.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Part of the subscription.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
This stops your subscription too. It is cancelled at Stripe in the same step, so nothing more is charged. The rest of this month is not refunded and you will not be able to use it, so cancel from Manage or cancel and delete later if you would rather keep it.
