Order of Chronicles Of St. Mary’s Books

English author Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St. Mary's series blends fantasy with historical adventure through a collection of novels and short stories. The seemingly unremarkable St. Mary's institute serves as headquarters for a team of quirky researchers who journey through time to witness pivotal moments in history firsthand. Their mission: to observe, record, and solve history's greatest mysteries – while hopefully surviving the experience.

Taylor launched this ongoing series in 2013 with Just One Damned Thing After Another, her first published novel. The books are listed below in their original publication sequence, which also follows the chronological storyline:
