World of The Books of Eka
Three collections, ten books, one world: the rise of a forbidden faith, the main series, and standalone books that read on their own, from the founding myth to the great wars.
No publication dates are set. Each card says where the book actually stands in the writing.The Path
A trilogy on the faith that grew in the shadows — how a forgotten cult became the thing Eka fears most.
Conquête
Hatred hardens into doctrine, and an entire land marches south against the oldest beings in the world. It ends with a continent torn apart, and a warning no one has dared test since.
Illuminés
The world lies in pieces, and power has to be shared out again. The age in which the survivors redrew Eka — and decided who would hold it.
Fanatiques
An outlawed faith is founded far from home, in exile and in secret, and grows into a church that answers to no nation and no law.
Desiri Saor
The main series. Two twin brothers, a school of magic, and a world beginning to turn against those who protect it.
Book 1 — Proie
Two brothers grow up in a world where magic lives alongside the fear it inspires. When their school is attacked and one of the two disappears, the other sets out after him — a journey that will take him far past anything he thought he knew about his own world.

Standalones
Books complete in themselves, each lighting up a whole stretch of Eka’s history. No required order.
Légendes d’Eka
Before men, before magic as anyone would recognise it: the coming of the Ekores from beneath the rock, the First Sacrifice that seeded magic into fire, water, earth and air, and the long quarrel between Irides and Aros that ended in a war the world has never finished paying for.
La Guerre de la Honte
A war whose name its own nation would rather forget — and, at the far end of it, the federation of the Talauraï, built on what that war cost.
Histoires d’Eka
Stories from across the length of Eka’s history, told in pieces. Among them La Bataille d’Aznar — the catastrophe that ended an age of conquest, and out of whose dead came the Venilsera, the order of mages that has kept the peace of Eka ever since.
