How to name a fantasy series
A series name has two jobs: it tells readers the books belong together, and it is the name they search for when they want the next one. Choose Series names in the generator and every result comes with the titles of the first three books.
- Name the thing that lasts. The world, the dynasty, the war or the relic that runs through every book: The Ember Crowns, The Thornwood Saga.
- Give the books one shape. Readers spot a set when every title follows the same pattern: Ashborn · Stormsworn · Deepborn, or A Court of… three times.
- Use "Chronicles" and "Saga" sparingly. They tell readers it is a series, but thousands of books use them. A concrete word is easier to find.
- Leave room to grow. Avoid "Trilogy" if a fourth book might follow.
- Check the name is free on Amazon and as an address for your website and social accounts; you can claim it as your link in bio.
Fantasy titles for characters, rulers and places
A good epithet is a story in three words. It can come from a deed (the Oathbreaker), a wound (the Unbroken), a birth (Ember-Born) or a rank and a realm (Warden of the Pale March). Choose Character titles and the generator mixes invented names, ranks and places from your sub-genre, which also works for orders, guilds, ships and kingdoms in a novel or a tabletop game.
Two tips: say the title out loud next to the character's name, because a reader will hear it hundreds of times, and keep each major character's title in a different shape, so they never blur together.
8 ways to find your fantasy book title
Name the relic
The crown, blade, egg or book everyone is fighting over is concrete and easy to picture on a cover.
Name the place
An invented city or realm builds the world in two words and makes the title yours alone.
Name the oath or the curse
The promise or punishment at the heart of the story makes readers ask what it costs.
Use your magic system
If magic comes from ash, song or blood, that word belongs in the title.
Hint at the turning point
"When the dragon wakes" promises the moment everything changes.
Match the sub-genre's sound
Cozy titles are warm and small; grimdark titles are short and hard. Readers sort by sound.
Cut it to the bone
Write the long version, then remove every word you can. Two to five words reads best as a thumbnail.
See it on a cover
Open the cover studio, try three designs and look at the store test: a title that works small will work everywhere.
