Notes
- A standalone novel with a fully resolved narrative arc, no sequel or companion material -- single-work by the same precedent as The Once and Future King/Stardust. Related, but confirmed a separate universe, to McKillip's own Riddle-Master and The Forgotten Beasts of Eld -- different world, different characters, no shared continuity.
