Notes
- From the series record (The Masquerade): Geopolitical/economic epic fantasy following Baru Cormorant's infiltration of the Empire of Masks. A fourth and concluding novel has been discussed by the author since 2018 but remains unwritten and unannounced as of this research (2026); correctly excluded as unpublished.
