The Manifold Worlds duology begins with An Accident of Stars (2016), in which a teenager named Saffron stumbles through a portal into Kena, a world with a social structure very different from her own. The book blends portal fantasy conventions with progressive world-building, featuring matriarchal societies, nonbinary characters, and complex political systems.

A Tyranny of Queens (2017) continues the story as Saffron, now more familiar with Kena, faces the consequences of the first book’s events. The duology is notable for the depth of its secondary world and for Meadows’ willingness to make the portal fantasy premise carry real emotional and political weight rather than treating it as a simple adventure setup.
