The Circle Opens
In "The Circle Opens" series, four young mages from Winding Circle Temple travel the world, each discovering their unique magical abilities and facing personal challenges. These stories explore themes of self-discovery, responsibility, and the diverse applications of magic in various cultures.
The Circle Opens series is a quartet of books that should be read in publication order: Magic Steps, Street Magic, Cold Fire, and Shatterglass. While each book focuses on a different young mage, there are overarching character developments and plotlines that benefit from sequential reading.
The Circle Opens is a direct sequel series to The Circle of Magic, following the same four young mages as they continue their magical education and adventures. It is also set in the same universe as the Immortals series and the Protector of the Small series, with occasional character crossovers and shared world-building elements.
As of my last update, there are no known film, television, or streaming adaptations of The Circle Opens series.
