Since kicking off The Maradaine Saga with The Thorn Of Dentonhill in 2015, author Marshall Ryan Maresca has added more than a dozen novels to this epic fantasy series.
But he’s also included some shorter stand-alone novellas as well in a subseries he calls The Maradaine Saga Shorts, which he started in 2022 with The Mystical Murders Of Yin Mara.
In the following email interview, Maresca talks about the fourth novella in The Maradaine Saga Shorts series, The Royal First Irregulars (paperback, Kindle), including what inspired and influenced this shorter story, and why you don’t have to read the 19 previous books first.
