If you loved how you were kept guessing which boy was the prince and which was the assassin as Lia hid in Terravin, you’ll devour the twisty court deceptions in The False Prince. Sage is trained alongside other boys to impersonate a long-lost royal, with a ruthless noble pulling the strings—much like the political forces shadowing Lia from Morrighan, Dalbreck, and Venda. The constant feints and late-game reveals scratch the same itch as that identity flip you discovered with Rafe and Kaden.

Miss moving between Lia’s voice and the two men tracking her? We Hunt the Flame alternates between Zafira, a hunted “Hunter,” and Nasir, a lethal prince-assassin sent to stop her. Their tense cat-and-mouse mission through Sharr’s deadly lands mirrors the push-pull you felt as the prince and assassin closed in on Lia—complete with secrets, grudges, and a slow-burn spark under looming political orders.

If Lia’s bold choice to bolt from her wedding and carve her own path won you over, meet Katsa in Graceling. She’s a king’s enforcer who decides her life—and her Grace—won’t be used for others’ agendas. The mountain treks, fierce autonomy, and a relationship built on mutual respect echo Lia’s journey from Terravin onward, including her burgeoning sense of power that hints at the Gift.

Drawn to the simmering, secret-laced romance that grew while Lia hid her identity? The Winner’s Curse gives you Kestrel and Arin circling each other across enemy lines, each guarding dangerous secrets the way Lia and her pursuers did in Terravin. Strategy, music, and subtext-rich banter build into a slow-burn that complicates loyalties as deftly as Lia’s entanglements with Rafe and Kaden.

If the undercurrent of treaties, vendettas, and crowns steering Lia’s every move hooked you, The Cruel Prince amplifies that political edge. Jude navigates cutthroat faerie courts where every alliance and betrayal matters—much like Lia threading between Morrighan’s expectations and Venda’s threats. Schemes, spies, and sharp-edged negotiations deliver the same addictive intrigue that shadowed Lia’s flight.
