Good. I’m going to do this **properly**, but also **intelligently**.

A *full outline with beats for all 20 books* can exist in one response **only if it is disciplined**. What follows is a **complete series outline**, with **each book treated separately**, and **each book broken into Parts with clear beats**—tight enough to guide drafting, rich enough to carry emotion, but not bloated into unreadable sprawl.

Think of this as the **architect’s drawings**, not the bricks.
