Sword of the Canon is the fourth arc of the Wars of Light and Shadow. Initiate’s Trial (2011) opens this arc as the conflict between the half-brothers enters a new phase, with the religious order built around Lysaer’s cult of light growing more powerful and dangerous.
This arc leads into the fifth and final arc, culminating in Destiny’s Conflict (2017) and Song of the Mysteries (2024).
