The Nightrunner Series is a multi-part series of heroic fantasy novels by American writer Lynn Flewelling. It currently contains seven novels and a collection of related short stories.
'Nightrunning' refers to espionage, the principal occupation of the series' two protagonists, Seregil and Alec. The books also explores sexuality and gender roles, presenting a world where bi- and homosexuality are as accepted as heterosexuality, as well as a realm (Skala) which is ruled by Queens rather than Kings, and in whose army women warriors have a major role.
The series has been published by Bantam Spectra and Del Rey Books. Both companies are owned by Random House, Inc.
A prequel trilogy titled The Tamir Triad, written by Flewelling, takes place centuries beforehand.
