About the Cassiopeia Vitt Adventure series
Cassiopeia Vitt is a recurring supporting character in Steve Berry's bestselling Cotton Malone series -- a wealthy, dangerous, self-possessed adventurer and Cotton's sometime lover. Starting in 2018, Berry teamed up with M.J. Rose to give her a run of her own standalone novellas, blending Berry's globe-trotting historical-conspiracy plotting with Rose's interest in objects, obsession and inherited secrets. The Museum of Mysteries (2018) sends Cassiopeia chasing a thief out of a secretive French museum and into a mix of modern intrigue and ancient alchemy that spills into a contested French election; the three novellas that follow -- The Lake of Learning (2019), The House of Long Ago (2020) and The End of Forever (2021) -- continue in the same mode, short, fast historical-thriller adventures built around a real-world setting and a hidden piece of history.
An earlier Cassiopeia Vitt novella, The Balkan Escape (2010), was written solely by Steve Berry and is not part of this Berry/Rose collaboration; it predates Rose's involvement and is tracked as Berry's own work rather than here.
Frequently asked questions
How many books are in the Cassiopeia Vitt Adventure series co-written with M.J. Rose?
Four novellas: The Museum of Mysteries (2018), The Lake of Learning (2019), The House of Long Ago (2020), and The End of Forever (2021).
Is The Balkan Escape part of this series?
It's set with the same character and is sometimes numbered as book one of the wider Cassiopeia Vitt Adventure line, but The Balkan Escape (2010) was written solely by Steve Berry, before M.J. Rose joined the collaboration -- it isn't credited to Rose and isn't included in this book count.
Do I need to read Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series first?
No. Cassiopeia Vitt is a Cotton Malone supporting character, but these novellas are self-contained adventures that don't require prior Cotton Malone reading.
Is this series connected to M.J. Rose's other books?
Not directly in plot -- it's a genre collaboration with Steve Berry, distinct from Rose's solo Reincarnationist, Daughters of La Lune and standalone historical novels.
