In The Adventurers Guild, did you enjoy ...
... being thrown into a dangerous apprenticeship where lessons can be lethal and every test changes who the recruits become?
The Iron Trial by Holly Black & Cassandra Clare
If you loved how Zed and Brock are conscripted on Guildculling Night and pushed through brutal Adventurers Guild trials outside Freestone’s walls, you’ll click with the Magisterium’s sink-or-swim training in The Iron Trial. Callum’s first year is full of perilous exercises, secretive mentors, and missions that reveal unsettling truths—much like the way the guild’s “lessons” force Zed and Brock to grow up fast while uncovering what really threatens their city.
... a story that shifts between teammates’ perspectives so you see the quest—and the secrets—from every angle?
The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
Enjoyed hopping between Zed’s and Brock’s viewpoints as guild mysteries deepened around Freestone? The Lost Hero also rotates POVs among Jason, Piper, and Leo, letting you experience a high-stakes quest through multiple lenses. Like the way Zed and Brock keep different loyalties and secrets during missions beyond the walls, each hero here carries hidden pasts that collide with the fate of their world.
... a ragtag team forging fierce loyalty under pressure until they feel like a family?
Aru Shah And The End Of Time by Roshani Chokshi
If the camaraderie of the Adventurers Guild recruits—bonding during monster runs and clandestine investigations in Freestone—won you over, you’ll love how Aru, Mini, and their allies become a tight unit in Aru Shah and the End of Time. As in Zed and Brock’s missions, the squad here survives on trust, quick wit, and shared risk, turning a thrown-together crew into a ride-or-die family.
... breathless, monster-filled scrapes that hurl you from one danger to the next?
Fablehaven by Brandon Mull
If the constant close calls—expeditions beyond Freestone, ambushes in the dark, and conspiracies snapping at the Adventurers Guild’s heels—kept you turning pages, Fablehaven delivers that same pedal-to-the-floor rhythm. Kendra and Seth stumble from one magical threat to another, uncovering hidden rules and betrayals with the same “no time to breathe” momentum that made Zed and Brock’s missions so addictive.
... schemes, secrets, and power plays where every ally might be angling for advantage?
The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen
If unraveling the guild and city politics behind Freestone—the backroom deals, hidden agendas, and perilous bets that entangle Zed and Brock—hooked you, The False Prince is a perfect next step. Sage is swept into a cutthroat plan to sway a kingdom, navigating lies within lies much like the double-crosses and quiet machinations surrounding the Adventurers Guild’s leadership.
