Notes
- From the series record (Written on the Dark): A standalone historical fantasy set in the fictional realm of Ferrieres (a lightly fantastical analogue of medieval France during a Hundred Years' War-era conflict), following tavern poet Thierry Villar after a duke's assassination. One of several standalone novels Kay has set in this same quasi-historical fictional world; admitted as its own single-work universe, consistent with how this project already treats his other standalone entries (Tigana, A Song for Arbonne, Under Heaven, River of Stars, etc).
