About the Salamanders: Circle of Fire series

Circle of Fire is Nick Kyme's planned sequel trilogy to his acclaimed Tome of Fire trilogy, continuing the story of the Salamanders Space Marine Chapter. Rebirth (2014), the only volume published to date, follows the Salamanders as they investigate an ork incursion that uncovers something far more dangerous stirring on a world tied to the Chapter's own founding mysteries, forcing the Fire-born to confront threats to both their Chapter and their homeworld of Nocturne.

Announced as the first book of a new trilogy continuing directly from Tome of Fire, Circle of Fire has not progressed beyond its opening volume in the decade since Rebirth's release, with no second or third book ever announced or released.

Frequently asked questions

How many books are in the Circle of Fire trilogy?

Only one has been published: Rebirth (2014). Despite being announced and marketed as a trilogy, no second or third volume has been released or given a title in the decade since.

Is the Circle of Fire trilogy finished?

No, and it does not appear to be actively in progress. No book two has been announced, titled, or scheduled as of this catalogue's August 2026 curation; the series should be treated as stalled/on indefinite hiatus rather than an active ongoing series, though nothing has been publicly cancelled either.

Do I need to read Tome of Fire before Circle of Fire?

Yes. Rebirth is a direct sequel to the Tome of Fire trilogy and assumes full knowledge of its events and characters.

What about the Salamanders audio dramas and novellas like Vulkan's Shield or Fireborn?

Those are shorter audio-drama and short-story tie-ins collected mainly in the Tome of Fire Anthology (2012) rather than standalone trade novels, so they fall outside this catalogue's novel-length scope and are not tracked here.
