Notes
- Prequel; Sabriel's parents' story, shortly before Sabriel.
- From the series record (The Old Kingdom): Publication order (Sabriel/Lirael/Abhorsen/Clariel/Goldenhand/Terciel and Elinor) diverges sharply from internal chronology (Clariel and Terciel and Elinor are prequels). No 7th novel confirmed announced; series status (open/closed) is unconfirmed either way.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
- Publication order, within the series The Old Kingdom: position 6 of 6: previous Goldenhand (2016)
- Internal chronology, within The Old Kingdom: position 2 of 6: previous Clariel (2014) · next Sabriel (1995)
