Hi, I just came across your work in my recommended section. Is there a correct reading order? It looks like the series take place in the same world, but I couldn’t find a reading order guide (I apologize if this is answered elsewhere and I missed it)
Hi Jordan,
Good question. I really do need to get a reading order set up for the two series. As you have already seen, both series are written within the same world; however, the Street Rats of Aramoor is a prequel series to the Aldoran Chronicles. The Aldoran Chronicles takes on the macro view of the entire world, while the Street Rats centers around one of the main characters from the Aldoran Chronicles series. Even though the AC series opens up the world, I absolutely recommend my readers start with the SR. There are a lot of characters and story lines that tie in with the AC series, and make it that much more enjoyable to read.
Both series are completely standalone, but if you decide to start with the AC series, then make sure to read at least the first book in the SR before you read book #3 (The Four-Part Key).
I hope that wasn’t too confusing. Lol! (In a nutshell – Read Street Rats first).
If you have any other questions…let me know.
All the best,
Michael
Thanks!!! That’s very helpful.
love the books. unable to get shackled, however.
Hi Colleen,
Sorry, you are having problems. The emails can often times end up in your spam/junk/promotions folder.

Just thought I would say hi and thanks for your stories. I started the White Tower only a few months ago on audible and finished that series and the prequel as well as the three Street Rats of Aramoor books, just finishing the last one today. I am eagerly awaiting the next ones. I am glad you put this map together. For me a map makes the stories come more alive and makes it easier for me to picture what is happening. Is there anyway to print it and put it on the wall? Thanks!
Hi Chad,
I agree that having a visual aid makes all the difference in the world.
If you are looking for maps, you’re in luck. I’m running a special on my store (Aramoor Market), where you can get all my maps for $15.
Check it out: https://store.michaelwisehart.com/product-category/prints/
All the best,
Thank you sir!. Jumped on and ordered them all. Good luck on your future novels. Can’t wait to read more.
Chad
Thanks Chad.
All the best!
I absolutely loved The White Tower. I come back to your website at least once a month to check the progress on book 2. Absolutely can’t wait!
Hey Michael,
My editors are working through Plague of Shadows now, and I’m a little over halfway through the first draft of the third book in the Street Rats of Aramoor series.
The best way to keep up with my work is by liking my Facebook author page. Right now I’m working with an illustrator to create two brand new maps for the city of Easthaven. You can keep up with the progress there: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelWisehart.author/
All the best,
am so eagerly awaiting, Mr Wisehart.
Glad to hear, Dee.
Plague of Shadows is now with my audio publisher and the first draft of the third book in my Street Rats series is nearing completion.
Can’t wait to share them!
woohoo!! that gives me time to re-listen to The White Tower again.
You have a lot of talent bud. I hope you are a “write-a-holic” so we have years to enjoy your story.
Hi Nobu,
Thanks for reaching out. Glad to hear you are enjoying the stories.
I definitely plan to continue writing for many years to come, and hopefully most of that writing will be within the World of Aldor.
Stay safe & God bless,
Michael
Hi Michael
Love your work.
Facebook has become an unsafe place in my opinion. Obviously I am not most people. That said is there any other way besides being part of a Tyrannical Social experiment like Facebook to get your updates?
Thinkspot.com recently started up. I know nothing about it except it costs a few dollars if you want to post as it allows no ads.
Not pushing Thinkspot.com. It’s new and I do not know it. I know FB and they basically have eliminated Freedom of Speech in the US. I never realized if people do not like what you say or they decide it is dangerous that you no longer have free speech. That’s not free speech. That’s Statism.
Sorry not looking to start a discussion. I am but one voice of many you need to consider. Great Stuff. I am reading the second book now Plague of Shadows. Along with a book about Tesla the Electrician. Cannot read one book at a time. I have Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment half read as well. Got too tough there and was happily surprised when Amazon had your new book as a paperback.
Thanks
Doug
Hi Doug,
If you’d rather not use Facebook, you can sign up to my newsletter here: https://michaelwisehart.com/join-the-wielder-council/
The unfortunate fact is that the vast majority of my newsletters end up in my readers’ spam box and they never receive them, which is why I also use Facebook, since it is the most widely used platform my readers also use.
I don’t want to get into a discussion about Facebook, but if you’d like to keep up with updates you can join the Wielder Council above. Also, I have a progress bar set up at the bottom of my website home page that lets readers know where I’m at with my writing and publishing. https://michaelwisehart.com/
Thanks for reaching out,
Michael
Have read both street rat’s books and white tower enjoyed them all
Hey Ted,
Thanks for reaching out. Glad to hear I am managing to entertain.
I’m working on the second draft of the the second book in the Aldoran Chronicles saga, entitled: Plague of Shadows, which will be out later this year.
If you haven’t done so already, please consider leaving a review of the books on Amazon. Those reviews make a big difference in pushing them to get the books out there.
This series is absolutely amazing! The world is detailed amazingly well (as this gorgeous map suggests). I love this book just as much as Stormlight Archive or the Kingkiller Chronicles. Please keep up the good work Michael! I don’t get much enjoyment in life usually but I can’t put your book down!
Hi Ryan.
To be ranked along with some of my favorite authors is high praise indeed. I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying the series and the World of Aldor. A lot still to come! I hope to have the book 2 (Plague of Shadows) in the Aldoran Chronicles out this year.
Awesome work. Do a little bit of map building myself as a D&D Dungeon Master. Never anything quite this good and most never make it past pen and paper, but i can definitly respect the work put into this.
Thanks Dallas.
Perhaps “Eye to(or of) the North” – i.e. similar to a the “eye” of a sewing needle
Hi Alan. Which map element/location are you suggesting should be named “Eye of the North”?
The pass just to the Northeast of Lake Baeron (between the Northern Heights and the Angoran Mountains) leading into the Frozen North.
Hey Alan. I was going back through my cartography page and realized I never received your reply, which is why I hadn’t responded. – Sorry about that. (Eye of the North) good name! Might see that show up in some later books. I do have an enormous wall and gate to add to it. It will be know as the “Gates of Bel’Taag.” But the pass hasn’t been named, so “Eye of the North” might be it. 🙂
Wow – Thanks for considering (and yes even applying) my suggestion! it’s really nice to interact and “have considered” us the readers thoughts and suggestions!
Keep up the great work!
Your choices for the mountain and island names were great. I can proofread, but my imagination has no independent creativity of it’s own. There are TV shows, movies, and books that my imagination will pull me into the story. Like The White Tower, totally immersed.
Many authors say that coming up with names is more difficult than coming up with the story. I can only hope that The Aldoran Chronicles continues to keep you pulled in 🙂
Hello, the map is marvelous, well detailed, easy on the eye, love the colors!!! You did a great job
Thanks Rene for the kind words. I will continue to add to it as the series progresses.
Is there any way to present the map so that we can zoom in to see the details? That would be freaking awesome!
Looks great, man. I wish I was that skilled with photoshop!
Hey Janalyn! Sorry for the late response. I replied a couple days ago using my cell phone, but it didn’t seem to post. I hand drew the basic elements first and then built the rest using Photoshop computer software. Its a lot of work, but lots of fun! If you have any questions concerning map-making let me know. Love to help my fellow fantasy authors!
Absolutely gorgeous! Did you use Campaign Cartographer?
Actually, I built it myself. I love designing and creating interesting things. As my novel series progresses, I continually add on to it 🙂
Thanks for the kind words!
