Specifically, political strategy and spy craft in a fantasy/sci-fi world. I like that the protagonist is involved in a deadly game of power with the world as her game board. I like that she’s a queer woman of color who’s losing herself and doing a lot of bad things in her quest for power. Doesn’t have to be queer but I don’t want another super special white male protagonist.
I liked the series and need something to scratch that itch but I’m having trouble. Thank you so much!
Also if it helps, could also be similar to The City of Stairs (spy craft, a game of power with large stakes for the world, fantasy elements, unraveling a mystery, POC woman protag)
