Jaye McKenna: Series

Thus far, all the books I've written fit into the same universe. Although some books within a series might stand alone, there is always an overarching plot, so reading a series out of order is not recommended.

Each individual series, however, does stand alone (although some may make vague references to past events). The series themselves can be read in any order, but the list here is chronological, and follows the same chronology as the Aion Timeline.

Wytch Kings

Prelude to the Wytch Wars... In Skanda, the Wytch Kings are bound to obey the corrupt, power-hungry Wytch Council. After centuries of bowing to Council's will, the Wytch Kings are restless. Some have begun to openly defy the Council. In the tiny kingdom of Altan, Wytch King Dane has planted the seeds of rebellion in the hearts and minds of both of his sons. Now, a simple issue of succession may be all it takes to stir the smouldering flames of resentment into a conflict that could engulf all of Skanda.

This is a completed series, each novel featuring adventure and romance for a different couple. Characters from previous books play key roles as the series progresses.

Kingmakers

Kingmakers takes place a few hundred years after Wytch Wars. The kingdoms of Skanda have recovered from the devastation wrought by the Wytch Wars and rebuilt. From the ashes of the old kingdoms of Skanda, the Tovashi Domains have risen, ruled by high lords who are sworn to obey the Binding, an agreement that prohibits the possession or building of the powerful mythe-weapons that nearly destroyed their lands. As the lessons of history fade into the distant past, there are whispers of those who would break the Binding and rumors of some who already have. Tensions rise and the threat of conflict looms. It will take a strong leader to bring the squabbling domains together once more and prevent history from repeating itself. Where will such a leader be found? And who will help him bring peace to these troubled lands?

This series is in progress. Book 4, tentatively titled Prisoner, is currently being drafted.

Guardians of the Pattern

Guardians of the Pattern is a science fiction series in which the line between science and magic blurs. In the galaxy-spanning Federation, psions are still fighting for basic human rights. Some worlds adopt a live-and-let-live policy, but on others, psions are hunted down and murdered because the public fears their psychic talents. When ancient weapons of mass destruction are unearthed on a planet populated by primitive nomads who still believe in magic, psions may be the Federation's only hope for survival.

Can the people of these two very different cultures come together to prevent disaster? Or will the Federation's hunger for power trigger a psionic chain-reaction that has the potential to threaten all of humanity?

This is a completed series, each novel featuring adventure and romance for a different couple. Characters from previous books play key roles as the series progresses.
