Where it sits
- Universe: The Inheritance Trilogy
- Series: not part of a registered series (standalone work within its universe)
- Author: N.K. Jemisin
Notes
- Sequel novella narrated by the godling Shill, set after The Kingdom of Gods. Marketed as a 'sequel novella,' not as a fourth mainline volume, despite some retailer listings loosely labeling it 'Book 4', classified Expanded, matching the author's own framing.
