Notes
- From the series record (The Shattered Sea Trilogy): A Viking-influenced YA/crossover trilogy, confirmed as a wholly separate continuity from Abercrombie's own First Law World (already admitted) -- standalone secondary-world setting, no shared characters, acquired by HarperCollins' children's/YA imprint rather than its adult fantasy line.
