Order of Shadows
Chapter 49: Chapter Timeline (Here There Be Spoilers!)
Previous ChapterI decided to create this mini-timeline to help readers determine the order of events, considering that the story is written out of chronological order. For those wanted to get a bigger picture, may this assist you. This timeline isn't as thorough as the one I use for my story development, and doesn't include every chapter in the story. Rather, it only focuses on the major events. Even so, it is inclusive to all the main characters.
