The Harbinger series<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Harbinger Series is a spin off from the Dark Elements series, set in the same world but with the focus shifting to a different main character.\u00a0 All of the same characters appear, and it follows on directly from the Dark Elements series.<\/p>\n

I would definitely recommend reading the Dark Elements series first – not only because it’s an awesome read, but this series contains massive spoilers for the first.<\/p>\n
