The Wraeththu Histories is a second trilogy set in Storm Constantine’s Wraeththu universe, published between 2003 and 2005. The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure, The Shades of Time and Memory, and The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence continue the story of the Wraeththu world, introducing new characters while revisiting familiar ones from the original trilogy.

These books were written roughly fifteen years after the original Wraeththu trilogy, and Constantine’s writing had matured considerably in the interval. The Histories are more politically complex and structurally ambitious than the first trilogy, reflecting both the evolution of the Wraeththu civilization in-story and Constantine’s own growth as an author.
