Later reprintings have collected the four books into two volumes (Shadow & Claw and Sword & Citadel) or into one. A follow-up novel called The Urth of the New Sun subsequently appeared to explain aspects of the plot more overtly, while adding in several twists of its own. While the book was seen as somewhat superfluous at the time as a looser sequel to the originally-planned four volumes, most fans now find it a worthy novel by its own merits.VolumesThe Shadow of the TorturerThe Claw of the ConciliatorThe Sword of the LictorThe Citadel of the AutarchThe Urth of the New Sun, a codaLexicon Urth
