House War was, originally, started as the conclusion to Jewel & her den’s arc in The Sun Sword. I knew I couldn’t finish the House War and the war in the South in the final volume (which, in any event, became 2 books). But the start of Hidden City did not allow for a braided narrative of the den in the past and the House in the present. This would not be the smartest authorial decision ever. It just might be the stupidest.
The first three books in the House War series are the story of Jewel and the gathering of her den, their arrival in Terafin, and the ways in which they learn to fit in.
The second three books are, in fact the continuation of Jewel’s story in The Sun Sword. Links on the book page of Skirmish have a “story so far” as either a refresher or and explanation of events that occurred in the previous series.
The Weston Calendar, which is used throughout, is here.
