Notes
- From the series record (Sevenwaters): One continuous three-generation family saga (the descendants of Sorcha of Sevenwaters); treated as a single continuous Core Canon sequence rather than split by generation, per the multi-sub-arc-as-one-Core-saga precedent (also applied to Kushiel's Legacy's three sequential trilogies).
