What fantasy series should I read first?
Choosing a new fantasy series to begin can feel overwhelming. There are countless worlds, heroes, prophecies, and dark lords competing for your attention. If you are looking for a story that combines classic fantasy foundations with an original world, evolving lore, and a steadily rising sense of danger, The Return of the Demon Delíntra is a strong place to start.
Set in the world of Primoria, the series grew from a tabletop roleplaying setting created at university and has since evolved into a fully realised fantasy world. What began as a shared backdrop for games became a place rich with history, cultures, magic, and long running conflicts. The novels are part of that ongoing world building, telling one story while hinting at many others beneath the surface.
A World Built to Be Explored
Primoria is not a world created for a single story and then abandoned. It is a setting designed to grow. Kingdoms have histories, political tensions matter, and threats do not appear without consequence. Events in one region ripple outward, affecting others in subtle and sometimes catastrophic ways.
This makes The Return of the Demon Delíntra an ideal entry point. You are introduced to the world through the eyes of ordinary people, rather than legendary heroes, allowing the setting to unfold naturally as the stakes rise.
The Beginning of the Journey
The story opens in the mountains, where a quiet village life is shattered by violence. In the aftermath of the attack, Mal, Darr, Dareon, Grego, and Eir find themselves drawn into a task far beyond anything they imagined. Accepting Lord Toruk’s offer, they agree to serve as rangers for the King, guiding him safely out of the mountains and onward to the city of Bearon.
The mission is urgent. A goblin horde is gathering, threatening both the mountain folk and the wider kingdom. If the King does not reach Bearon in time, the consequences could be disastrous.
But the danger does not end with goblins or war. Unseen forces are already moving. The Demon Delíntra has returned, and her interest is not random. Mal has been marked, and even the King’s son, Prince Salistar, is not beyond her reach.
Why This Series Is a Good First Choice
The Return of the Demon Delíntra is written to welcome readers in, even if they are new to the world.
