The Spiral Continuum
A 1606 atlas arrives at a Lisbon scholar's apartment with a tidemark that turns out to be a fingerprint. Across four hundred years and eight volumes, a thirteen-stone lattice, a Jesuit cartographer, and a generational line of women carrying a single question reach the moment the question is finally answered.
The Eight Volumes
Published in reading order 1–8. The Roman-numeral series-position differs for the final two volumes: Book 7 is Volume VIII (the closing volume); Book 8 is Volume VII (the interquel between the trilogy and the closing volume).
