 pelman the prophet / pelman the powershaper #1:

#1: "the prophet of lamath" (1979) (this novel)
#2: "the wizard in waiting" (1982), q.v.
#3: "the power and the prophet" (1985), q.v.

followed in publication by the prequal
wizard and the dragon trilogy:

2#1: "the forging of the dragon" (1989), q.v.
2#2: "the faithful traitor" (1992), q.v.
2#3: "- ? -"
(2#3 was completed (very late) by the author, but was rejected by ballantine's by-then del rey fantasy series editor; iirc it was eventually published, or announced as to be published by another publisher in tp/b, but i have not seen this.)
(this comment is from another edition of this book)
