Notes
- From the series record (Redemption in Indigo (novel)): A Barbadian author's debut novel reworking a Senegalese folk tale, in which a put-upon cook, Paama, is given the world-shaping Chaos Stick by a defeated djombi (spirit) and must learn to master it while being pursued by its former owner. Standalone; registered as a single-work universe (LOTR-analogy convention). Karen Lord's other novels (The Best of All Possible Worlds, The Galaxy Game, Unravelling, The Blue, Beautiful World) are social science fiction in different settings, not part of this universe.
