Order of Fortress Books

C.J. Cherryh's Fortress series transports readers into a richly crafted high fantasy realm reminiscent of medieval Europe. At the heart of these novels is Tristen, a unique protagonist who wasn't born in the traditional sense but was instead "shaped" by the powerful wizard Mauryl Gestaurien, known as the "Kingmaker."

This captivating fantasy saga launched in 1995 with Fortress in the Eye of Time and concluded in 2006 with Fortress of Ice. The series maintains perfect chronological order with its publication sequence, making it easy for readers to follow Tristen's extraordinary journey from beginning to end.
