Notes
- Riverside #3 by internal chronology (set ~40 years after Swordspoint); co-written with Delia Sherman.
- From the series record (Riverside): Publication order (1987, 2002, 2006) differs from internal chronology (Swordspoint, then Privilege of the Sword ~18 years later, then Fall of the Kings ~40 years later); both orders are well documented and not in dispute, so no unresolved-chronology case applies here.
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.
