In The Sword And The Stallion, did you enjoy ...
... a protagonist driven by a quest and personal mission?
The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson
The Broken Sword follows Skafloc as he is swept into a fateful quest shaped by destiny and vengeance, much like Hawkmoon’s relentless pursuit and the sense of fate in The Sword And The Stallion. If you found yourself drawn to the clear, urgent sense of mission and the way it propels the story forward, you'll be gripped by Skafloc’s journey amid Norse myth and faerie warfare.
... protagonists with ambiguous morals who operate in shades of gray?
The Black Company by Glen Cook
If you appreciated Hawkmoon's struggles with morality and the complex, sometimes troubling choices he faces in The Sword And The Stallion, you'll be fascinated by the mercenaries of The Black Company. Croaker and his comrades serve questionable masters and constantly navigate ethical gray areas, blending loyalty, survival, and pragmatism in a dark, war-torn world.
... large-scale adventure with sweeping battles and world-spanning stakes?
The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison
If you loved the epic clashes, grand quests, and sweeping scope of The Sword And The Stallion—with its battles, magical forces, and dramatic landscapes—then The Worm Ouroboros will immerse you in a vast, operatic tale of warfare, heroism, and mythic rivalry on a truly grand scale.
... deep and immersive worldbuilding with rich history and cultures?
The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe
If you were captivated by the vivid, intricate world of Granbretan and the darkly magical settings Hawkmoon traverses, The Shadow of the Torturer delivers an even more layered and mysterious tapestry. Severian’s journey unfolds in a baroque, ancient world where every detail—from the guilds to the relics—deepens the immersive sense of history and place.
... stories inspired by myth and legend, filled with archetypal quests?
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
If you were drawn to the mythic resonance and legendary undertones of Hawkmoon’s journey in The Sword And The Stallion, you'll find The Last Unicorn equally enchanting. The unicorn’s quest to discover her lost kin echoes the timeless, myth-inspired adventure, blending melancholy, magic, and archetypal storytelling.
