Once the gate closes and the foreigners leave, the Winter Queen is removed in favor of a Summer Queen. For about 150 years, the Stargate to other worlds remains open and during this time Tiamat is ruled by a Winter Queen. The planet Tiamat is divided into two peoples, the Winters and the Summers. The story of The Snow Queen is loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale sharing the same title. Unfortunately, The Snow Queen and World’s End are both out of print now. The most recent novel set in this universe, Tangled Up In Blue, is a stand-alone about BZ Gundhalinu that takes place during the earlier part of The Snow Queen. The Summer Queen is the direct sequel to The Snow Queen and was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1992. This science fiction novel was followed by a shorter novel, World’s End, which is the story of what happened to BZ Gundhalinu after the first novel ended. Vinge won the Hugo Award in 1981 and was also nominated for a Nebula Award.
