If you loved Esmae's relentless pursuit to win the unbeatable warship Titania and claim her place in her family, you'll be captivated by Tarisai's quest to forge her own destiny despite a magical compulsion to obey her mother's deadly wishes. Raybearer offers a similarly goal-driven plot with high stakes and personal sacrifice.

If you enjoyed the dynamic between Esmae and her allies, each with their own secrets and ambitions, you'll love the found-family crew in The Gilded Wolves. Séverin and his diverse team navigate heists, betrayals, and their tangled relationships in a lush, magical Paris.

If Esmae's journey from pawn to player resonated with you, Laia and Elias's paths in An Ember in the Ashes will strike a chord. Both face harrowing trials that force them to change and challenge their understanding of family, loyalty, and self-worth.

If you were enchanted by the Mahabharata-inspired worldbuilding of A Spark of White Fire, you'll be swept into the lush, myth-infused setting of The Tiger at Midnight, where feuding kingdoms, prophecy, and legendary assassins collide.

If the intricate systems of power, shifting alliances, and betrayals in Esmae's world gripped you, you'll find yourself enthralled by Paige Mahoney's fight to survive in a dystopian London ruled by an oppressive clairvoyant order in The Bone Season.
