Notes
- From the series record (King of Scars Duology): A closed 2-book sequence following King Nikolai Lantsov (a Shadow and Bone trilogy supporting character), set after both the Shadow and Bone trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, drawing characters from each into one plot -- the clearest textual evidence that this project treats the whole Grishaverse as one continuous multi-generational-scale Core saga (the same precedent already applied to Kushiel's Legacy, Sevenwaters and Tortall) rather than three unrelated universes.
