If you were gripped by the desperate stand at Dros Delnoch, you'll love The Black Company, where an elite mercenary unit is tasked with seemingly impossible missions. Like Druss and his defenders, these soldiers face overwhelming forces while clinging to loyalty and survival. The book’s raw, mission-focused momentum will keep you turning pages late into the night.

If you admired the mix of legendary fighters and ordinary soldiers in Legend, The Heroes offers a similarly rich ensemble. Set over three brutal days of battle, you'll get to know a variety of characters—some brave, some cowardly, all deeply human—each fighting for their own reasons, much like the defenders of Dros Delnoch.

If Druss’s transformation and Rek’s personal evolution resonated with you, The First Law immerses you in the lives of deeply flawed heroes like Logen Ninefingers and Sand dan Glokta. Their journeys are gritty and transformative, filled with hard choices and real consequences, making every change feel earned and impactful.

If you appreciated Druss’s rough edges and Rek’s uncertain heroism, The Lies of Locke Lamora introduces you to Locke and his gang—cunning thieves with their own codes in a dangerous city. Their schemes blur the lines between right and wrong, just like Gemmell’s heroes, ensuring you’re always wondering whose side to take.

If the brutal battles and the somber atmosphere of Legend kept you hooked, The Blade Itself delivers an even grimmer take on war, honor, and survival. Abercrombie’s world is unflinchingly harsh, with graphic violence and hard choices at every turn—perfect for readers drawn to the darker side of fantasy.
