The Three Worlds

The "Three Worlds" after which the cycle is named are the three planets of:

  • Aachan – Home of the Aachim
  • Santhenar – Home of the Old Humans and the setting of most of the cycle
  • Tallallame – Home of the Faellem, the Mariem and the Lyrinx
  • The View from the Mirror

    The View from the Mirror is a quartet:

  • A Shadow on the Glass
  • The Tower on the Rift
  • Dark is the Moon
  • The Way Between the Worlds
  • The Well of Echoes

    The Well of Echoes is a quartet:

  • Geomancer
  • Tetrarch
  • Scrutator / Alchymist
  • Chimaera
  • The Song of the Tears

    The Song of the Tears is a trilogy:

  • Torments of the Traitor / Fate of the Fallen
  • The Curse on the Chosen
  • The Destiny of the Dead
  • The Fate of the Children

    The Fate of the Children was originally planned to be a single novel to finish off the series, but it was confirmed that it will be a trilogy on one of the final pages of Destiny of the Dead.

    Irvine has stated that it is a prequel to The Well of Echoes, yet a sequel to The View from the Mirror. It has been confirmed by Irvine that the novels are to answer questions that are opened at the end of The Way Between the Worlds. Additionally, events at the end of Destiny of the Dead suggest that the new trilogy may be both a prequel and sequel to The Well of Echoes and The Song of the Tears.

    Four characters from The View From the Mirror quartet are set to reappear in The Fate of the Children:

  • Karan
  • Llian
  • Maigraith
  • Shand
  • According to Irvine's Facebook page, the first book of the trilogy was scheduled to be released in November, 2015
