Where to Begin

Rivening Press publishes three series, and they're not chapters of the same book. Here's how they actually connect — and where they don't.

Tales From the Rivening cover
The Rivening Cycle

Tales From the Rivening

This is the one that gave the press its name. An ER travel nurse on the Oregon coast finds out the sky can tear open — and that she's the reason it's tearing here, not just someone who got caught in it. If you only read one thing on this site, make it Book One.

Dispatches from the Far Side cover
Shared-World Anthology

Dispatches from the Far Side

Same multiverse as Tales From the Rivening, but a different job entirely: this is where other realities get to tell their own first-contact stories, in whatever form they take — fiction, poetry, art. Nothing here requires you to have read the flagship first, and nothing here will spoil it either.

The Severed Threads cover
The Weaver Trilogy

The Severed Threads

Somewhere else in that multiverse, decades further along, is a woman who made a very different set of choices than the one you'll meet in Tales From the Rivening — same person at her core, living a life the flagship never touches. You don't need one to understand the other. Start with The Weaver's Call.

The Veilport Shifters cover
Standalone Paranormal Romance

The Veilport Shifters

This one stands entirely apart — a paranormal romance series with its own cast and its own stakes, sharing nothing with the rest of the catalog but a publisher. Start with Locked Out.

Pick whichever one sounds like your kind of story.

None of them are homework for the others.
