About the Roman's Chronicles series

Roman's Chronicles is a Kate Daniels universe spinoff centered on Roman, a powerful necromancer and volhv (a pagan Russian magical priest) who has appeared as a supporting character across the main series. Sanctuary opens the spinoff with Roman navigating his own community's politics and a fresh magical threat, set within the same post-Shift Atlanta the main series established, using its detailed magic-versus-technology world-building.

Ilona Andrews (the husband-and-wife team of Ilona and Andrew Gordon) continues expanding the Kate Daniels universe outward through named-character spinoffs like this one, giving established supporting players their own central stories rather than only continuing Kate's own arc.

Only one novel has been published so far; the series is understood to be ongoing.

How to read this series

Read Kate Daniels first. Roman is a recurring supporting character introduced across the main series, and Sanctuary assumes familiarity with him and the wider post-Shift world -- it isn't written as a starting point for newcomers.
