House of Hyrax

Step into the enigmatic world of House of Hyrax, where power is forged in darkness, loyalty is a double-edged sword, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. Arcadia Rayne’s gripping fantasy series pulls readers into a realm where political machinations, forbidden magic, and ancient secrets swirl together, creating a world on the brink of chaos. In the House of Hyrax, nothing is ever as it seems, and no one is truly safe from the webs of deceit and intrigue that govern the land.

The series begins with The Rose in the Shadows, where Theadora Moore, the last living descendant of Hyrax—the God of the Dead—finds herself pulled into the tangled politics of Athenia. With no memory of her past and an awakening magic threatening to overtake her, Thea’s journey of self-discovery leads her to confront both her terrifying heritage and the complex world of powerful families, where allies are often enemies in disguise.

In To the Edge of Athenia, the prequel, the foundation of the world is built as readers meet a group of unlikely friends who will later shape the course of history. Their bond and loyalty will be tested, setting the stage for the dangerous and dark path that lies ahead.

House of Hyrax consists of two primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
