New topics take center stage in this volume of award-winning author Marie Brennan's set of worldbuilding guides for science fiction and fantasy writers. Ranging from the poverty-stricken reality of beggars and servants up to the heights of imperial rule, from the solidarity of guilds and unions to the spirituality of saints and miracles, the New Worlds series offers insights into every corner of human society.

This volume collects essays from the seventh year of the New Worlds Patreon.
