Our Recommendation: Publication Order
Read in publication order. There are several short stories and novellas, but the nine main novels tell a complete, self-contained arc from Hounded to Scourged.

Own the Complete Series
Buying the whole series at once is usually cheaper than individual books, and box sets make a great gift. See The Iron Druid Chronicles box set options on Amazon ›
Novellas and Short Stories
Two Ravens and One Crow, Grimoire of the Lamb, and the collection Besieged sit between the novels but are optional. There's also a related trilogy, Ink & Sigil, set in the same world — start it after Scourged.
Frequently Asked Questions
