Theros was the final block to get a companion novel, and even then that was just in E-book form. The policy after this of publishing a trilogy of books for each year’s setting was discontinued, with the Zendikar, Alara, and Scars of Mirrodin block settings just getting a single novel each. The novels returned to Dominara with the Time Spiral cycle and it visited Lorwyn during the Lorwyn cycle. The series began venturing out of Dominaria and into many new planes in the later books, like Mirrodin (which was once Argentum) in the Mirrodin Cycle, Ravinca in the Ravinica Cycle, and Kamigawa in the Kamigawa Cycle.

The books “Whispering Woods”, “Shattered Chains”, and “Final Sacrifice” are part of “The Greensleeves Trilogy” or the “Whispering Woods Trilogy”.Īll ten of these non-cycle novels were published by Harper Fantasy. The heroes from “Arena”, Rakel and Garth, show up in “Shattered Chains”. Some of the stories are linked, while others are not.
