The Twilight Kingdoms

The Twilight Kingdoms is a trilogy of novels written several centuries before the 2380s. The second novel features a character called Wade and his enemy, the Wights of Scarden.

In 2382, Prynn Tenmei (who was introduced to the series by her mother Ruriko Tenmei) read the second novel of The Twilight Kingdoms to Elias Vaughn when Vaughn was in a coma in Deep Space 9's Infirmary. Julian Bashir liked The Twilight Kingdoms and considered them to be timeless.
