I'm hesitant to look through some of the other topics about these series of books because of potential spoilers. I have a very simple question though, that is probably answered in those topics.
Recently, I picked up Lady of Poison and The Alabaster Staff, which are the first in the Priest and Rogue series respectively.
From what I understand, all these books are stand alone. Is this correct? I can read back and forth in the series without waiting for sequels to be written?
Just want to see if I should read them when I'm done with Venom's Kiss, or I should shelve them and wait for the rest to be written?
Thanks!

| You are correct. It makes absolutely no difference what order you read them in. |

Yeah, that Bane guy just has a poor PR team. Even his Chosen are helpful!

And the Fighters starting later this year, with Master of Chains (Aug?) and Ghostwalker (Dec?), and the Wizards next year(??). Also stand alone series, unless I miss my guess.

Yes, unless we are both missing something, that series is stand alone as well. |

We live to serve here on Candlekeep. :) As for new novels, at try the WIizards of the Coast web site?.... They should have a list of upcoming novels for most of this year.....
And well I had to keep a novel list since I have almost 1,000 and I didn't want to start buying reprints. WOTC loves reprinting novels with new covers or changing the titles. There's also a few other companies that do that also and it's a pain. :) |

| It is astounding that there are so many books I have not bothered to look for, maybe I should start looking and buying them now. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

You're welcome. WOTC should update their site soon so we can get official descriptions and cover images as well for the upcoming novels. Until then, if you have a question about a certain novel, try the search function as many of the upcoming tomes have been discussed in previous threads.
Have fun.

Oh, I certainly hope that is the case also.
As well, I like the possibilities for new and interesting wizard characters that the publication of this new series creates.

Grin. The only one I rebought was Ed's "expanded" Spellfire, which is why It's mentioned about the reprint. Other then that I don't rebuy novels unless I have to because I once loaned them out and my friends destroyed them. But after the 2nd time that happened I stopped loaning them out except to a select few who know how to take care of books. :) |
