The third part of the Devil trilogy, Devil's Soul, appeared in April 2010. All books are published under the pseudonym Adrian Stone.[19]

After Rune, Stone wrote a new series (title: Magycker), which plays in a completely new world.[21] The first part The Claw was published in 2016. The second and final part Dragon Heart was published on 26 October 2021.[22]
