If you were drawn to Airar Alvarson's relentless pursuit to free his people and restore justice, you'll be captivated by Maia's journey in The Goblin Emperor. Maia, thrust unexpectedly into the imperial throne after a deadly accident, must navigate court politics, assert his rule, and pursue his own vision for a better realm against daunting odds. Like The Well of the Unicorn, this novel immerses you in a protagonist’s quest for meaningful change in a richly imagined world.

If the broad, epic sweep of Dalemark—with its warring provinces and shifting alliances—captivated you in The Well of the Unicorn, you'll be entranced by the sprawling world of A Song for Arbonne. Kay crafts a tapestry of rival kingdoms, religious conflict, and ambitious leaders, all set against a vividly rendered alternate medieval France. The book’s scale and sense of history echo Pratt’s grand storytelling.

If you appreciated the tangled webs of alliances, betrayals, and power struggles in The Well of the Unicorn, The Curse of Chalion will enthrall you. Cazaril, a weary former courtier, must outwit deadly intrigue and navigate treacherous politics to protect the royal family. The novel’s deftly woven plots and subtle manipulations will resonate with your love of nuanced political drama.

If you found yourself lost in the detailed cultures, customs, and landscapes of Dalarna and its neighbors, The Once and Future King offers a similarly immersive experience. White’s Arthurian Britain is rendered with meticulous care—from the etiquette of the Round Table to the everyday lives of its people. The magical and historical elements blend seamlessly for a world as rich and believable as Pratt’s.

If you admired the ambiguous morality of Airar and his allies, their difficult compromises and sometimes questionable decisions, you’ll find The Black Company compelling. Glen Cook’s mercenary soldiers operate in a world where right and wrong blur, and survival often means choosing the lesser evil. The novel’s gritty perspective and conflicted protagonists echo the ethical complexity of The Well of the Unicorn.
