A series of six books is called a hexalogy.
The word ‘trilogy’ means ‘a series of three works’. It comes from the Greek trilogia, which is made from two word-forming elements: tri- meaning ‘three’ and logia, which is from logos, meaning ‘story’, ‘idea’, ‘speech’.
In order to find a corresponding word that means ‘a series of six works’, we just replace tri- with the Greek numeral prefix meaning ‘six’, which is hexa-. Hence, a hexalogy is a series of six works (or books).
