Start Kate's world with Gunmetal Magic?
Gunmetal Magic, Iron and Magic, and Blood Heir are not Kate Daniels book one. Start the world at Magic Bites. Blood Heir comes after the Wilmington books.
Short answer · Start here
No. Magic Bites.
Magic Bites (2007) is the door. Gunmetal Magic is Andrea, after Magic Slays. Iron and Magic is Hugh, after Magic Binds. Blood Heir is Julie, after Magic Claims on the author schedule.
Why the spin-off says book one
Gunmetal Magic is Andrea Nash’s novel. Iron and Magic is Hugh’s. Blood Heir is Julie’s. Each can wear a series number that belongs to that narrator. The world those books stand in still starts at Magic Bites. Blood Heir was published in 2021, before the Wilmington books, and the authors’ schedule still places it after Magic Claims.
What this house does
Magic Bites first. The ten Kate novels are on the Kate Daniels reading-order guide. Where Andrea, Hugh, and Julie sit is on the spin-offs guide. None of the three spin-off novels is required to finish Magic Triumphs.
Hidden Legacy and Innkeeper are different series.
