The Stromling Saga is a series of short novels written by talmid and set in the LEGO Universe. The stories center on the characters Cyclone, Kate, Rover, and Blade, human minifigures who survived infection by the Maelstrom and in the process discovered the existence of Nexus Figures.
The saga exists in two trilogies and a series of spinoff stories. The Stromling Trilogy is the first three stories, Servant of Darkness, The Search, and Full Circle. The Sequel Trilogy is the next three stories, Fading Fast, Alone in Space and Time, and Darkest Night, which have been declared not-canon. The Spinoffs consist of multiple related stories leading up to the culminating Song of the Swans, the seventh installment of the Stromling Saga.
After Song of the Swans, the Stromling Saga is followed by A Series of Four.
