Order of Alvin Maker Books

This captivating fantasy series from acclaimed author Orson Scott Card follows Alvin Maker, a young man blessed with extraordinary abilities that allow him to manipulate and transform the physical world around him. Set against the backdrop of early 1800s America, the series weaves together elements of American folklore and superstition to create a richly textured alternate history.

The journey began in 1987 with Seventh Son, which garnered multiple prestigious fantasy awards and established Card's reputation in the genre. The series has since expanded to include five additional novels, with more installments planned for the future. Beyond the books, the Alvin Maker universe has grown to encompass a comic book adaptation and an upcoming MMORPG currently in development.
