The Song of the Tears is a trilogy:
- Torments of the Traitor / Fate of the Fallen
- The Curse on the Chosen

The Fate of the Children
The Fate of the Children was originally planned to be a single novel to finish off the series, but it was confirmed that it will be a trilogy on one of the final pages of Destiny of the Dead.
Irvine has stated that it is a prequel to The Well of Echoes, yet a sequel to The View from the Mirror. It has been confirmed by Irvine that the novels are to answer questions that are opened at the end of The Way Between the Worlds. Additionally, events at the end of Destiny of the Dead suggest that the new trilogy may be both a prequel and sequel to The Well of Echoes and The Song of the Tears.
