In The Lost Queen, did you enjoy ...

... mythology-inspired Arthurian retellings?

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

If you were captivated by the mythic backdrop and reinterpretation of Celtic legend in The Lost Queen, you'll be swept away by The Mists of Avalon. Bradley reimagines the Arthurian cycle through the eyes of Morgaine and the women of Camelot, offering a richly layered perspective on myth, magic, and destiny that echoes the atmospheric, ancient world of Languoreth.

... detailed historical worldbuilding?

Hild by Nicola Griffith

Did you love the vivid immersion in 6th-century Scotland in The Lost Queen? Hild transports you to early medieval Britain, where the young Hild navigates the perilous political and spiritual landscape. Griffith's meticulous research and lush prose create a living, breathing world, much like the textured, authentic setting that made Pike's novel so compelling.

... strong female protagonists forging their own destinies?

Circe by Madeline Miller

If Languoreth's journey—her resilience, intelligence, and the way she shapes her own fate—spoke to you, you'll be enchanted by Circe. Miller's novel follows the witch of myth as she breaks free from the bounds of gods and men, forging her own identity with courage and nuance. It's a lyrical, emotionally rich tale that centers a powerful woman in a hostile world.

... epic scope and sweeping, multi-threaded storylines?

The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

If you were drawn to the grand scale and interwoven destinies in The Lost Queen, The Priory of the Orange Tree delivers a sweeping epic brimming with political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and battles that span continents. With dragons, queens, and a richly imagined world, Shannon crafts a tale as ambitious and immersive as Pike's.

... slow-burning, emotionally resonant character arcs?

Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

If you appreciated the gradual unfolding of Languoreth's journey and the deep emotional resonance in The Lost Queen, Daughter of the Forest offers a similarly heartfelt, slow-burn experience. Sorcha's transformation, her endurance through hardship, and her connection to Celtic myth will tug at your heartstrings and reward your patience.
