 the first novarian novel by internal chronology as well as publication date.

it is followed by the reluctant king trilogy, featuring king jorian:

#1: "the goblin tower" (1968), q.v. for links to editions of the three novels.
#2: "the clocks of iraz" (1971), q.v.
#3: "the unbeheaded king" (1983), q.v.

the last published novarian novel follows jorian's younger brother, kerin:

"the honorable barbarian" (1989), q.v.

"the emperor's fan" (novelette) "john w. campbell memorial anthology" ed. harry harrison (1973), q.v.
is a novarian world story set earlier than the reluctant king trilogy, in a chinese-korean-japanese-ish empire..

a final novarian novel, "the sedulous sprite", was completed by de camp but judged not to be of publishable quality when found after his death.
