If you loved Red Country for its relentless pursuit through the wilds and the fierce determination of Shy South and her crew, you’ll dive right into The Heroes. This novel centers on a single, unyielding objective—the control of a strategic hill during a brutal three-day battle. The characters, much like in Red Country, are propelled by personal stakes and shifting loyalties, all barreling towards a violent, uncertain goal in a landscape just as unforgiving.

Did you enjoy the dynamic between Shy, Lamb, and their ragtag companions in Red Country? You’ll love the camaraderie and chaos of Locke, Jean, and the Gentleman Bastards in The Lies of Locke Lamora. Each member brings a unique flavor to the group, making every scheme and setback a delight as their relationships deepen—and are tested—throughout their high-stakes adventures.

If you were captivated by the way Red Country’s characters—especially Lamb, with his brutal past—walk the line between right and wrong, you’ll be hooked by The Blade Itself. From the infamous Logen Ninefingers to the ruthless Inquisitor Glokta, the story is driven by figures whose motives are rarely pure and whose decisions are anything but black-and-white.

If the gritty, dust-choked landscapes and harsh violence of Red Country drew you in, you’ll feel right at home in The Grey Bastards. Follow Jackal and his fellow half-orc riders as they navigate brutal politics, betrayal, and bloodshed in a world where survival is never guaranteed and every victory comes at a cost.

If you were invested in Shy South’s journey from survivor to avenger in Red Country, you’ll appreciate Monza Murcatto’s relentless quest for vengeance—and the way it changes her—in Best Served Cold. As Monza assembles her crew and confronts her own thirst for revenge, you’ll witness a transformation forged in blood and betrayal, echoing the raw, hard-earned growth found in Red Country.
