The Sorrow duology follows Sorrow Ventaxis, daughter of a grieving chancellor in a land that has been in mourning for 18 years. State of Sorrow (2018) opens as political rivals threaten to upend the established order, and Sorrow discovers that much of what she has been told about her country’s history is false.

Song of Sorrow (2019) continues the story as Sorrow navigates revolution, betrayal, and the cost of power. The duology has a more political focus than Salisbury’s Sin Eater’s Daughter trilogy, with less emphasis on romance and more on governance and manipulation.
