Notes
- From the series record (The Bound and the Broken): Self-published epic fantasy main sequence, planned for 5 novels. The fifth and concluding volume, Of Gods and Ashes, is announced for 2028 per the author's own 2025 year-end update and is correctly excluded as unpublished. Several companion novellas (The Fall, The Exile, The Ice, and others) exist in the same continuity but were not catalogued.
