Notes
- From the series record (Who Fears Death): 2-book Core Canon: Who Fears Death (2010) is the original novel; The Book of Phoenix (2015) is an explicit prequel set earlier in the same mythology (the Phoenix/Sola figure who recurs in Who Fears Death's own in-world legends), published in reverse of story order: The Book of Phoenix comes first in-story, Who Fears Death comes first in publication order (2010, then 2015).
