If you loved how Briseis uncovers a lineage tied to Greek myth—complete with an old estate, secret letters, and people willing to kill for what she guards—then you’ll click with Lore. Melora Perseous is dragged back into an underground hunt where mortal bloodlines fight incarnate gods through ancient oaths. The book riffs on the same mythic roots that fuel Briseis’s poisonous garden and coven entanglements, but swaps the upstate manor for high-stakes urban chases and vicious divine politics.

Briseis’s journey—adopted upbringing, an inherited house full of clues, and the dawning realization that her gift is bound to a hidden order—echoes in Legendborn. Bree Matthews arrives at UNC still reeling from her mother’s death and discovers a secret society descended from Arthurian knights. As Bree peels back layers of memory and magic, her path to owning her power mirrors Briseis learning what her plant affinity truly means and where it comes from.

If the unraveling mystery at Briseis’s inherited estate—locked rooms, family histories, and neighbors who know more than they say—hooked you, try The Devouring Gray. Newcomer Violet Saunders lands in Four Paths, a town ruled by founding families whose heirs must contain a monstrous realm called the Gray. Like the hidden apothecary garden and coded warnings in This Poison Heart, Violet’s clues lead to family legacies, rivalries, and a deadly power others are desperate to control.

If you enjoyed how Briseis’s plant affinity blooms in a present-day setting—balancing school, family, and a garden that can both heal and kill—then The Nature of Witches will resonate. Clara Densmore’s magic surges and falters with the seasons as she trains to harness it, much like Briseis learning the costs and responsibilities of her gift amid modern pressures. The lush, botanical atmosphere echoes those poisonous beds and greenhouse secrets you loved.

If Briseis’s bond with her two moms—and the way new allies gather around that old house until it feels like a home—moved you, Cemetery Boys offers that same heartbeat. Yadriel seeks recognition of his brujo identity, summons the irrepressible ghost Julian Díaz, and finds support that blossoms into love and community. Like Briseis welcoming people into her inherited sanctuary, Yadriel builds a family that stands with him when his magic turns dangerous.
