If you were drawn to the shifting loyalties and camaraderie among Logen, Bremer dan Gorst, and the rest of Abercrombie's cast, you'll find the mercenary band of the Black Company just as engaging. The novel follows a tight-knit group of soldiers through brutal battles and shifting allegiances, immersing you in their bonds, betrayals, and hard choices.

If you appreciated the way characters like Calder and Craw in The Heroes act out of self-interest, loyalty, or survival rather than clear-cut ideals, you'll be riveted by Baru Cormorant's relentless pursuit of power and vengeance. Every choice Baru makes is fraught with ethical ambiguity, delivering the same shades-of-grey moral intensity.

If you were gripped by the way The Heroes centers almost entirely on the three-day battle for a single hill, you'll love the sense of inexorable momentum and military focus in A Song for Arbonne. Every character's fate is bound to the outcome of a war, and the narrative never loses sight of its overarching, driving goal.

If you admired Abercrombie's unflinching depiction of battle—the mud, fear, and carnage—you'll find yourself right back in the thick of it with The Red Knight. Cameron delivers visceral, detailed combat scenes and never shies away from the physical and psychological toll of war.

If you enjoyed the sardonic humor and irreverent dialogue between the Northmen and Union soldiers in The Heroes, you'll relish the clever repartee and gallows wit of Locke and Jean as they navigate Camorr's treacherous underworld. Lynch’s wit keeps the tone lively even as the stakes turn deadly.
