The Pandava Quintet, written by Roshani Chokshi, is a five-book series centering

around Hindu mythology. It follows Aru Shah, the reincarnated form of the Pandava
Arjuna and the birth daughter of the Sleeper, who also serves as the main
antagonist of the book. Over time, Aru must find the other four Pandavas and defeat
the Sleeper, while having many adventures and encountering Hindu deities. In
September 2017, Lurie and Riordan announced that the first novel in the imprint
would be Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi and that it would release
in March 2018. The first book in the Pandava Quintet, Aru Shah and the End of Time,
was released on March 23, 2018, as the first book in the "Rick Riordan Presents"
imprint.[6] Aru Shah and the Song of Death, book two in the series, was published
on April 30, 2019. Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes was released one year later on
April 7, 2020. The fourth book in the Pandava Quintet and the fifteenth overall
published by Disney Hyperion in the imprint, Aru Shah and the City of Gold was
released on April 6, 2021.

The cover of Aru Shah and the City of Gold was revealed on Rick Riordan's website
in June 2020.[7] The fifth and final book, Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality,
was published on April 5, 2022. Chokshi also released a short story centering
around the characters introduced in her novels in the "Rick Riordan Presents"
anthology The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities along with eight other writers
and Riordan himself. In addition, a graphic novel adaptation of Aru Shah and the
End of Time was released on March 2, 2022. It was illustrated by Anu Chouhan and
adapted by Joe Caramunga. Entertainment Weekly likened the series to Riordan's
Percy Jackson series and the Sailor Moon franchise.[6]

Storm Runner and Shadow Bruja series


The Storm Runner series is written by J. C. Cervantes and centers around Aztec and
Mayan mythology. It follows Zane Obispo, a young boy who walks with a cane because
of a debilitating limp. Zane discovers through Brooks, a new acquaintance, that he
is the child of Hurakan, a Mayan god. The trilogy began with the second book in the
whole imprint, The Storm Runner, which was released on September 18, 2018.[8] The
second book, entitled The Fire Keeper was released on September 3, 2019, and a
third and final installment in the trilogy, The Shadow Crosser, was published on
September 1, 2020. The series was followed by a sequel duology, also written by
Cervantes, called the Shadow Bruja series. The duology consists of two novels, both
of which focus on Ren Santiago, a character introduced in The Fire Keeper. The
first book in the duology is The Lords of Night and was released on October 4,
2022.[9]

Thousand Worlds series


The Thousand Worlds series is written by Yoon Ha Lee and is a mix of science
fiction and Korean mythology. The series follows Kim Min, a fox spirit on the
planet Jinju whose brother, Jun, was a space cadet. When Jun disappears, Min sneaks
away to find him. The first book in the series and the third in the imprint
overall, Dragon Pearl, was released on January 15, 2019.[8] Tiger Honor, the second
book in the series, was initially announced on Lee's website,[10] with more
information included on a ReadRiordan article published on May 19, 2021.[11] On May
21, ReadRiordan released an article with the cover and title.[12] In addition, the
second book, though existing within the same continuity of Dragon Pearl, focuses on
a new main character, Juhwang Sebin, a tiger spirit belonging to the Juhwang clan
who is hoping to become a space cadet to follow in the footsteps of their uncle
Hwan, though Kim Min also returns as a secondary character. Tiger Honor was
released on January 4, 2022. Fox Snare, the third and final book in the series, was
released on October 17, 2023, and is the first book in the series to be told from
alternating perspectives.

Speaking to the large "departure" in the genre difference in Dragon Pearl as


opposed to the other series in the imprints, Lee said he drew on sources such as
Folk Tales from Korea by Zong In-Sob, Hong-Key Yoon's The Culture of Fengshui in
Korea, and Religions of Korea in Practice by Robert Buswell Jr. for inspiration.
