Continuous trilogy collection
The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon
Read Elizabeth Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy as the continuous story it was written to be, from Sheepfarmer's Daughter through Oath of Gold.
Updated August 2026
The Deed of Paksenarrion was written as one long story and published in three volumes. Paks's development from recruit to hero carries directly across the trilogy.
An omnibus also collects the whole work under the title The Deed of Paksenarrion, but the sequence below preserves the three individual novels.
