Pieces of Kiranis
Welcome to the expansion of the Kiranis Universe.
Please read the preceding notes before reading each flipbook. There is no catch here, but you should know that reading these pieces out of context or without familiarising yourself with their background will potentially spoil any surprises the author has in store for you. It is likely you will not understand their significance or meaning outside of reading the novels.
1: The Barrier
This ‘piece’ takes up the story almost immediately after the end of Pawns of The Prophet (Kiranis Book 2), so be warned, you will ruin many of the surprises in store for you. If you don’t know who Kai Tzedek, Sam Vawter, or Harriet Messina are, you’re not ready for this yet. This piece is also referenced in Secrets of The Universe (Book 3), so it is no mere passing fancy.
2: Hypatia
This ‘piece’, which you might consider an ‘origin story’ for a major character, contains minor references to events in Pawns of The Prophet (Kiranis Book 2) as well as contextual references for Secrets of The Universe (Book 3), and while it can be enjoyed as a standalone piece, the author strongly urges you to wait until after Book 3 to read it, so that you at least enjoy the reveal up to which it builds. The choice, as always, is yours.
3: Now, Wake
This ‘piece’ picks up from a major sequence in Secrets of The Universe (Kiranis Book 3) and reading it out of context will confuse you completely. If you haven’t yet met Philip Arthur or Celeste Ferrici, and especially if you haven’t a clue what the Cen-Dith are or what happened at EP Alpha in 583 NE, the author strongly urges you to wait until after Book 3 before reading this.
4: Born of Fire
This piece relates to the expulsion of Surit from Venus. Don’t know what we're talking about? Then you’re probably not ready for this yet. It will be referred to in the Prologue for Book 5, Doom of The Child King, which will first feature at the end of Book 4, Tears of The Dragon. We suppose it won’t ruin too much for you, but we think you’d really need the context of at least Book 3, Secrets of The Universe, to understand it. If you haven’t even read Book 1, Gods of Kiranis, yet, then the end of this piece won’t mean much either.
5: The Metal God
This piece acts as an expositional interlude between our first encounter with Aphestan in the ‘Lonely Galaxy’ (Book 3: Secrets of The Universe) and his inevitable arrival in the Universe of Absolution (Book 4: Tears of The Dragon). You might enjoy reading it in isolation, however, as there are no specific spoilers here.
