If you loved the sense of urgent purpose as Ryhalt Galharrow undertakes perilous missions in Blackwing, you'll be swept up by Arlen Bales' desperate quest to defend humanity from nightly demon attacks in The Warded Man. Both books feature protagonists who are driven by a singular, dangerous goal against overwhelming odds.

Did you enjoy Ryhalt Galharrow's gritty, flawed heroism and questionable decisions? In The Lies of Locke Lamora, you'll follow Locke and his band of thieves as they outwit criminals and nobility alike, constantly treading the line between hero and rogue. The moral ambiguity adds depth and tension to every twist of the plot.

If the grim setting and constant sense of peril in Blackwing drew you in, you'll be right at home in The Blade Itself. The book immerses you in a world of brutal violence, war, and deeply flawed characters, echoing the dark and gritty tone that made Ed McDonald's work so compelling.

If you appreciated the bleak, vividly realized Misery and the strange magic of the Nameless in Blackwing, you'll be fascinated by the complex societies, earth-shaking magic, and rich history of The Fifth Season. Jemisin builds a world every bit as detailed and immersive, full of secrets to uncover.

If you found the corrupting power of the Nameless and the destructive, uncertain magic in Blackwing thrilling, The Poppy War offers an equally intense exploration of dark magic. Rin's journey through a brutal war and her encounters with lethal magical forces make for a harrowing and powerful read.
