Remembering what came out when, and which category it falls into, can be hard even for the people involved in writing, so we’ve compiled this list of award-eligible works from the past year for the upcoming season. The biggest one is obviously the completion of the Rook & Rose trilogy, but we think there’s a lot of great short and medium-length fiction as well.

Is such a thing available anywhere? Or do I have to re-read book one? We don't have a more detailed summary up anywhere, no -- the one in the book itself was limited by the space available.

Quotes by M.A. Carrick (?)

“Men had often looked at her the way Vargo was looking at her now, but always for her beauty – never her ingenuity. And Ren, who was used to treating that kind of admiration as nothing more than a useful lever, felt her breath catch.”
― M.A. Carrick, The Mask of Mirrors

“If you cannot trust yourself, then trust me. My feelings for you go far beyond mere wanting... and I've never heard that love is a Primordial's domain.”
