If you loved the brutal, world-weary vibe of Jackal and his fellow Grey Bastards—mercenary outcasts living by their own code—you'll find The Black Company a perfect fit. Croaker and his band aren’t noble heroes either; they’re mercenaries wrestling with loyalty, betrayal, and survival, often making hard choices in a grim world. The gritty camaraderie and blurred lines between good and evil will feel right at home.

If the sharp-tongued banter and irreverent humor of the Grey Bastards’ crew made you laugh, you’ll love Kings of the Wyld. Saga, a band of aging mercenaries, reunites for one last epic quest, cracking jokes and getting into trouble at every turn. Their adventures are as hilarious as they are action-packed, balancing comedy with thrilling fantasy.

If you enjoyed the tight-knit, brotherhood vibe of the hoof and all their schemes, The Lies of Locke Lamora will hook you. Locke and his gang of thieves navigate a treacherous city, relying on wit, loyalty, and teamwork to survive cons and double-crosses. The ensemble energy and complex friendships mirror the best parts of the Grey Bastards.

Did the savage, violent world of the Lot Lands keep you turning the pages? The Blade Itself delivers a similarly grim atmosphere: bloody battles, morally grey choices, and dangerous intrigue abound. Characters like Logen Ninefingers and Inquisitor Glokta navigate a world where brutality is a fact of life, and survival often comes at a steep price.

If you were drawn in by the Lot Lands’ unique orc culture, politics, and customs, The Emperor's Blades offers an equally rich tapestry. The story weaves together the lives of three royal siblings, each facing challenges in a world full of ancient traditions, rival factions, and deadly secrets. The lore and depth of the setting will satisfy your hunger for immersive fantasy.
