The Story

The Chronicles Universe

How the Hughes Chronicles fits into a larger world of books, characters and an unfolding true family mystery.

Three arcs. Three generations. One trail.

The Hughes Chronicles is not a series with a fixed ending. It is a trail that passes from one generation to the next — exactly as ST Hughes intended when he left his clues behind.

Arc One
Daphne's Arc
Books 1–6 · Published and live
Arc Two
The Brothers' Arc
Books 7–9 published · 10–12 underway
Arc Three
The Grandchildren's Arc
Coming · ST still not found

The Hughes Chronicles is based on a true family story. ST Hughes was real. Daphne was real. The trail is real. The locations are rooted in real history. Where the story needed wings to fly — it was given them. The mystery at its heart has never been solved.

For the child in all of us. The mystery is deep enough that adults are never ahead of children. The clues are genuine enough that both argue about what to do next. 20+ books planned. ST has never been found.
