If Rune Saint John navigating New Atlantis’s Tarot Houses and their backroom deals hooked you, you’ll love how The Rook drops Myfanwy Thomas into the Checquy—Britain’s occult secret service—where she must outmaneuver internal plots with a cool head and killer wit. Like Rune’s hunt for Addam amid Arcana power plays, Myfanwy’s amnesia-fueled investigation peels back layer after layer of supernatural politics and treachery, all while keeping the quips sharp and the stakes deadly.

If Rune and Brand’s deadpan one-liners and gallows humor carried you through assassins, monsters, and House feuds, Gideon the Ninth will hit the same nerve. Gideon’s snarky first-person voice slices through a lethal necromancer trial the way Rune’s quips light up New Atlantis—keeping you grinning even as the secrets pile up and the bodies do, too.

If the slow-bloom attraction between Rune and Addam against a backdrop of House politics drew you in, Witchmark offers a similarly intimate pull. Doctor–mage Miles Singer and the enigmatic Tristan team up to probe a string of uncanny deaths, and their M/M romance intertwines with revelations about class, duty, and the costs of power—echoing the emotional beats you enjoyed in New Atlantis.

If Rune’s case to find Addam—and the way it unspools into the secrets of the Arcana—was your jam, Rivers of London delivers that same investigative charge. Probationary constable Peter Grant apprentices to a wizard-cop and tracks hauntings, possessions, and turf wars through London’s spectral backstreets, blending dry humor with clue-by-clue reveals much like Rune’s digs into New Atlantis’s power structure.

If the bond between Rune and Brand—battle-tested quips, unspoken trust, and willingness to bleed for each other—was your favorite part, The Lies of Locke Lamora doubles down on that dynamic. Locke and Jean’s friendship anchors daring schemes and brutal reprisals, delivering the same mix of humor, heartbreak, and unwavering allegiance that keeps the Sun and his bodyguard side by side.
