If you loved Tomas Piety's razor-sharp focus on reclaiming his turf and leading his crew through the brutal streets of Ellinburg, you'll be captivated by The Lies of Locke Lamora. Scott Lynch's novel centers on Locke and his band of thieves, the Gentlemen Bastards, as they navigate heists and rival gangs in the city of Camorr. The book's relentless sense of purpose and high-stakes maneuvering echo the goal-driven energy you enjoyed in Priest of Bones.

If you found the camaraderie and shifting loyalties of Tomas Piety's crew compelling, The Black Company will draw you in with its ensemble of mercenaries. Glen Cook introduces readers to a brotherhood of soldiers whose bonds are tested by war, dark magic, and ambiguous allegiances. Each member’s unique perspective adds depth to the group dynamic, much like the ensemble you enjoyed in Priest of Bones.

If Tomas Piety's ruthless pragmatism and questionable ethics kept you turning pages, you'll be riveted by Monza Murcatto’s brutal quest for revenge in Best Served Cold. Joe Abercrombie crafts dark, morally murky characters who must navigate betrayal and shifting alliances in a grim, war-torn land. Abercrombie’s anti-heroes and their murky motivations are the perfect match for your taste in flawed protagonists.

If you were drawn to the grim, blood-soaked streets of Ellinburg and the unflinching violence of Priest of Bones, Low Town is sure to appeal. Daniel Polansky’s hard-edged noir fantasy follows a disgraced agent turned drug dealer as he investigates a series of murders in a city rife with corruption. The gritty tone and raw realism create an atmosphere as dark and immersive as Peter McLean’s world.

If you appreciated watching Tomas Piety grapple with his war trauma and adapt to his new life as a crime boss, you’ll enjoy The Blade Itself. Abercrombie’s characters—like Logen Ninefingers and Inquisitor Glokta—are forced to confront their pasts and evolve in the face of unforgiving circumstances. The depth of character development will satisfy your craving for stories where growth comes at a cost.
