Notes

  • From the series record (Lyonesse): Core Canon = all 3 novels of the completed trilogy (Berkley, 1983; Underwood-Miller, 1985 and 1989). Confirmed a separate, unrelated universe from Vance's The Dying Earth, already in this canon -- different world, different continuity; both records are cross-referenced as being by the same author.

Neighbouring works

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.

  • Reading order, within the series Lyonesse: position 3 of 3: previous The Green Pearl (1985)
